The Utah Jazz are out of the playoffs, but Rudy Gobert is still on the court — albeit against somewhat lesser competition.
Gobert posted a video to his Instragram Stories that shows the towering Jazz center facing off against a youngster who is 3½, maybe 4 feet shorter. The kid dribbles to Gobert’s left, drives to the basket, puts up a shot — which the 7-foot-1 Jazzman swats away with authority, to the excited cheers of the other children.
Gobert averaged 2.3 blocks per game during the 2017-18 season, and it’s possible none was met with as much excitement as the one in this video.
