He's back and he's angry. Gobert in SLC

[mellow]

Several media members posted pictures of Rudy at the zions bank basketball facility watching today's draft prospect workout.

Later Rudy posted a picture of the empty gym with these words...

I really believe Rudy takes the league by storm this year. All those chumps on Realgm calling him overrated gonna be eating their words.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Good Gawd that's Rudy Gobert's music!

 

[BabyPeterzz]

His latest FB post. My Goboner is raging.

Is Rudy going to play any SL?

I seem to remember Hayward and Burks playing in a few games in before entering their 3rd season.

I remember it being confirmed in the exit interviews that he wouldn't play in SL.

Can someone translate the hashtags for me?

I love that he is still barking about the all team D snubs. Use that fire Rudy. Use it to break other teams spirits and crush their dreams.

Go Jazz!!!!

Agreed, actually figured it out:

-Got some things to do
-No team all defense
-I'll make sure it's not an option
-We have a great season ahead
-Can't figure out this one.....

I am willing to bet that final one is in French. "apreparerr" or "preparer" looks similar "preperar" which is Spanish for "to prepare" or "to get ready" and "euro" might be a referrence to NT duties? My guess is getting ready for France's NT summer play.

et un euro a prepare ?

and has a Euro prepared

Could be wrong. My French is very, very, very old and rusty.

"And prepare for Euros." Obv referencing Euroball this summer.

This one is my favorite. Gobert has that inner drive to be great. That quality is rare.

It's one of the factors that drove Jordan and Kobe to be two of the greatest of all time. It's what has propelled Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard and Draymond Green into becoming three of the best defenders currently in the NBA.

I am so damn happy that Rudy is ours. He's going to be the cornerstone of the best defense in the league for years to come. It's just too bad the Jazz didn't draft the Greek Freak over Burke. Defensive lineup of Gobert, Favors, Antetokounmpo, Hayward and Exum. . . holy crap!
