Good is the enemy of Great. Gobert is the enemy of the history books.

Yes, yes. We know. The Utah Jazz really fleeced the Denver Nuggets when they traded away cash and the draft rights to Erick Green for the French bigman Rudy Gobert. Gobert, who some liken to an immobile tower, is a defensive beast. But more than that, unlike a tower that never moves, Gobert is actually more like a mythic monster that destroys any cities he visits. Gobzilla > Stifle Tower / French Rejection -- let’s stop with the provinicalism here, the nickname describes the player’s game, not where he was from.
