Gilbert Arenas Critiques Rudy Gobert's Absence from NBA Playoff for Childbirth

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas publicly criticized Rudy Gobert for prioritizing the birth of his first child over a crucial playoff game.

Rudy Gobert missed Game 2 of the Timberwolves' playoff series against the Nuggets to attend the birth of his son.
Despite Gobert's absence, the Timberwolves secured a 106-80 victory, leading the series 2-0.
Arenas argued on his podcast that Gobert should have participated in the game, suggesting 'the baby will be there when you get back.'
Fans and social media users have largely defended Gobert's decision, emphasizing the importance of family over sports.
The controversy highlights differing perspectives on professional commitments versus personal life in sports.
