Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has taken issue with officials before. Most notably, Gobert was fined $100,000 for flashing a money sign toward a referee last season. It was the fourth time Gobert was fined for publicly criticizing officials. He soon took a reprieve from his harsh critiques.
