Rudy Gobert takes the high road

One of the biggest offseason stories for the Utah Jazz was the extension of All Star center Rudy Gobert. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year and best defensive player on the planet who is in his prime was unsurprisingly a priority for the Utah front office. After outperforming his previous contract (despite many people thinking that was also an overpay...) the Jazz gave Rudy a raise to the tune of a 5 year $205 million dollar contract.

That’s a ridiculous amount of money. The highest paid center in the history of the NBA kind of money.
