The French media has had Rudy Gobert everywhere lately. Recently, the burgeoning Utah Jazz center was on France 3, one of the major television networks in his native country, for an interview. We found a copy of the video for you complete with subtitles thanks to avid Rudy Gobert enthusiast @Eric_Debieu.
Eric tells me that Rudy Gobert is much more popular in France than Joakim Noah because he plays for the French team whenever the opportunity arises. In Europe they take playing for your country very seriously, and Rudy’s strong commitment to the team and his patriotism might just lead to legions of Jazz fans in France that rival the number of Tony Parker San Antonio Spurs fans.
