Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves was not happy with Alex Caruso of the Chicago Bulls the other night and he let the world know it.
Gobert was upset at an attempted box-out by Caruso during Sunday’s game and after the game, he told the press, “If [the NBA doesn’t] hold people accountable, I’m gonna hold them accountable myself.”
But on Tuesday’s episode of “Undisputed,” Skip Bayless said that Caruso has nothing to be worried about.
“Rudy Gobert is the classic fake tough guy to me. No one is afraid of him,” Bayless said.

Bayless and his co-hosts Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson noted that Gobert has been involved in a few physical altercations over the last few years, but none of them have changed the perception of him being a “fake” tough guy.
Meanwhile, Bayless reminded everyone that Caruso is truly tough and shouldn’t be underestimated.
Gobert was mad about Caruso’s play because he injured his knee a few years ago due to a similar move and he was afraid of that happening again.
It makes sense that he would be concerned for his health but some people question if his tough talk after the game was necessary.
At 7-foot-1 and 258 pounds, Gobert is a big guy who could definitely use his strength and physicality to his advantage.
However, Bayless believes that he is the epitome of having all bark and no bite.
The Bulls ended up coming out ahead during Sunday’s game, winning 109-101 and keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Unless both teams reach the NBA Finals, this will be the last time they play against each other this year.
That means that if Gobert really wants to hold Caruso “accountable,” he will have to wait until next season.
