On the eve of the NBA’s All-Star reserves announcement, Rudy Gobert was only thinking about the team that matters most.
“It would be a blessing, obviously,” Gobert said, contemplating the possibility of being named an All-Star for the second time in as many years. “But it’s really a reward for what we’ve been doing as a team. When I look at All-Stars and Defensive Player of the Year, all the individual stuff is not possible without the team and what we do as a group. I don’t know how many [All-Stars] we’re going to have, but regardless of whoever is selected, it’s rewarding for the work we do as a team and as an organization.
