Much has been said about France’s amazing run in this summer’s EuroBasket tournament. Especially here at Purple and Blues. The team has stormed through the tournament, leading up to Thursday’s semifinal game.

Gobert has picked up right where he left off during the 2014-2015 NBA regular season, when he set the league ablaze with his overall defense and endless amounts of highlight dunks.
