10 things: Ignore Rudy Gobert at your peril, and one critical ingredient in Boston's juggernaut rise
This week, we examine the ridiculous, space-obliterating Rudy Gobert, a flurry of limbs in Memphis and one young guard, Nashing it.

I would question how smart the jazzfanzer is that actually pays for that low class service.
Also, regarding Rudy in the HOF, I had made these comparisons in another thread but here’s how he stacks up for career per 36 minutes to two other HOF in Ben Wallace and Dikembe Mutombo, and one future HOF in Dwight Howard. Each category is ranked in order.

I’d also add that while these categories are somewhat arbitrary, I tried to grab any major statistical category somewhat relevant to this comparison. That said, Rudy is the leader among these four players in 5/9 categories, is top two in 8/9, and is last in none. Dikembe leads in 2/9 categories, as well as Wallace leading in 2/9 (one is a tie in assists with Rudy) and Howard leads in one category.
Rudy is a lock for the HOF at this point.

I firmly believe Rudy Gobert is a Hall of Fame player. Yet this John Wilmes fellow wrote an essay on RealGM concerning our starting center. Wilmes is vexed as to why Rudy draws so much criticism from the other players. I, having studied human nature for what seems like centuries, am equally perplexed. Rudy plays hard, block shots, and appears at games unlike this Benjamin Simmons fellow. He passes health and sanitation statutes unlike this Mr. Kyrie Irving, who purports that our world is flat. He does not ring chase like those who move to South Beach. Our Rudy is subjected to dishonorable smears and this state of affairs agitates me.
Just get online from pretty much any country besides usa and its free. Thats why infection posted the link from Australia.

If 3 (easily will be 4 if not 5 by the time he hangs up the sneaks) DPOY along with league-leading advanced stats on both offense and defense for multiple years, along with 3 (soon to be more than that, 6 maybe? 8? who knows?) All-star nods, are not enough to get him into the HOF then the HOF is seriously broken. Gobert is easily the most decorated and impactful defensive big we have seen in decades, and others at his level or close have made it in. I would say, barring ultimate stupidity from the HOF voters, he is a lock to be in the HOF one day.

Yeah to me and my bias opinion it is really more of a question of is he a first ballet HOF'er and not IF he is.
