The Year of the Gobzilla: Rudy’s best season yet

It’s September 24th, 2018. The season is just a few weeks away. The Jazz are coming off one of the most unforgettable seasons in franchise history, rallying back from a 19-28 record to make a playoff run and advance to the second round against the star-studded OKC Thunder. Rudy Gobert just three months prior, had been awarded his much-coveted Defensive Player of the Year award, and gave an inspiring acceptance speech in his custom-made, bright pink suit. It’s Utah Jazz media day, and Rudy is now addressing reporters and other media answering questions with his expectations for the coming season.
