THE Rudy Gober lost it Game 2 of the Timberwolves with the Nuggets, in order to be by the side of his wife who gave birth to their first child. And if for the whole normal world this absence is completely justified, since some things are sacred, the same is not true for Gilbert Arinas.
The veteran guard through his podcast criticized the French center for his absence from the crucial game of the playoffs. “It’s a baby, man. It will be there when you return! Whatever you think you can do, that will be sleeping. I understand that you might want to be by your wife’s side and smile and all, but you have this good security because you play in the NBA“, said Arinas. Just… carefree!

In contrast to the nonsense spewed by Arinas, we contrast what was stated a few years ago by Sarunas Yasikevicius, as coach of Zalgiris at the time, when asked why he gave Augusto Lima time off for the birth of his child. “I gave him permission! Do you have any children; Once you get it, you’ll understand. Do you think basketball is the most important thing in life? Is a semi-final important? When you have your first child, you will understand what is important and what is not in life. Let’s talk again then. There is nothing more magical for a person than the birth of their child. Believe me. No titles, no nothing. Augusto is in heaven now, and I’m really happy for him“, the Lithuanian coach had mentioned in 2017.
