While the basketball planet (especially the planets Minneapolis and Saint-Quentin) had their eyes riveted yesterday on Rudy Gobert’s induction press conference with his new Wolves franchise, the Jazz took the opportunity to soum-soum to swing on its networks a short sixty-second video to say – for the first time – thank you to its former pivot. It will take a little more to look back on nine years of common history, but it’s a very good start.
June 2013, Rudy Gobert is drafted by the… Nuggets, yes, and traded in stride in Utah by… Tim Connelly, well, well. Nine years later, the path traveled is immense, and Rudy Gobert leaves for Minnesota crowned, among other things, with three trophies for best defender of the year and three All-Star selections. Collectively everything will have been hard past the spring, every year or so, but since his arrival in the NBA Rudy has clearly established himself as a player who matters, and as one of the very best in the history of the Mormon franchise, everything merely. A special place in the history books of Jazz, we talked regarding it recently here, and a departure that will be difficult to fill, both on a sporting and on a human level. because the entire Jazz community agrees that the Frenchie is a great man and his numerous appearances in the associative environment in particular are there to testify to it. What do we do in these cases? We mourn, we see the future differently, but we don’t forget to thank the local icons and most often with a little tribute video that goes well. It does not eat bread, it allows fans to revise their French and it reminds us, if necessary, how much Gobe has counted in Utah lately.
The reunion promises to be wet next season when Rudy will arrive with Karl-Anthony Towns to wipe the pumps on Donovan Mitchell and the new generation of the corner. In the meantime send the video, it lasts one minute and it’s guaranteed 100% camembert baguette.
