I'll assume all those who think Gobert has some kind of national duty are Trump supporters.
Assuming is the mother of all **** ups. Fwiw.

Probably ****ty players.
This is how the foreign team players feel towards playing for their National Team though. I think most understand they have to take some years off, but we all knows Gobert is going to be there for the Olympics and when they need to qualify. It's something he wants to do.
No, pretty sure Manu said he is more proud of his Gold Medal.
Define "duty" then, because the idea that Gobert "owes" his talent to a country where he no longer lives for some esoteric reason is very primitive thinking. He doesn't owe France anything other than taxes, and maybe owing to his fellow french-men to be a good citizen and uphold the laws of the country, be a good neighbor, etc. But he absolutely does NOT owe them something that gains him nothing and risks his personal future career in a very real way. Just ask Exum what that "duty" got him.
Did you hear he came back for the last three games?
A lot of foreign players have stated a Gold Medal in the Olympics would be more important to them than a Larry O'Brien trophy.
