Rudy Gobert donates $500,000 to Utah arena workers, OKC families and French Healthcare System

Since testing positive with the COVID-19 novel coronavirus on Wednesday, the former Defensive Player of the Year unintentionally did what he normally does in the paint, but on a much grander scale, he shut everything down. This time he did it on a national level. Partly due to his disregard and carelessness of the health crisis and the ignorance and naivety of many in our corporate, local, state, and federal employees, Rudy Gobert became the lightning rod of a health crisis that had become very real. His positive test was a wake up call. Now with that newfound visibility and culpability, Rudy Gobert is using it to make a difference.
