Stifle and Spida are sticking together.
Utah Jazz All-Stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell were both selected by team captain Giannis Antetokounmpo in Thursday’s NBA All-Star draft, and will take on a team led by Lakers forward LeBron James later this month in Chicago.
“I gotta go with the Stifle Tower,” Antetokounmpo said when he selected Gobert, the 7-footer from France. “I need somebody to block shots.”
With his last pick, Gobert added Mitchell and his 22.7 points per game to a star-studded roster.
“I’ll go with my guy Donovan Mitchell,” Antetokounmpo said.
Mitchell said earlier this week that he hoped to be paired up with Gobert as the two Jazzmen played in their first All-Star games.
