Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert has had enough of Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic's flopping. The “Stifle Tower” mocked “The Joker” on Thursday night during his team's match-up against the Nuggets at Pepsi Center.
With less than a minute remaining in the second quarter, Gobert was called for a foul as Jokic posted him up on the low block. The 7-foot-1 Frenchman then went over the official and hilariously imitated Jokic's flailing movement of his head and shoulders just to sell the contact.
The referee clearly was not having it since Gobert still got called for the personal foul.
