One of these days I’m going to get tired of doing Rudy Gobert highlights. Today is not that day. 10-ish points and a couple of blocks usually isn’t very exciting, but Rudy has a thing for making every game into a display of his freakish abilities. He doesn’t block shots like a wimp, like some…

Rudy Gobert 13 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
Here’s a thought exercise for you. How many shots would you not have blocked if you played Rudy Gobert in a game of one-on-one? Half of them? A few? None? It depends on your basketball skill-level, obviously. NBA players can get most of them past him, but someone like me would be hard-pressed to have…

NBA players like to swear. In that regard, they are no different than anyone who plays basketball past elementary school. It’s an intense sport; when you get into it, stuff just flies out of your mouth without any filter that you might normally have. I myself have said regrettable things on the court (no I’m…

Addiction is a terrible thing. Self-control goes out the window and plummets several stories to the unforgiving pavement. Family member’s and acquaintance’s attempts at intervention are rebuffed, leading to a closed-off, downward spiraling addict. For some, the only light at the end of the tunnel is more of the addictive substance. For others, there is…

This is what we’ve all been waiting for. The realization of Rudy Gobert’s immense raw talent. He may not have scored many points, that’s true, maybe if you weren’t a disciple of BSPN you would realize that there are many other ways to affect the game. Gobert, all seven feet of him, caused chaos in…

Rudy Gobert slid. His large frame, not well-suited for this type of activity, sped down the hill at breakneck speed. The inner-tube which conveyed him groaned under the weight of the sledding NBA player. Rudy himself had his eyes clenched tight. He had vague recollections of tobogganing as a child in France, idyllic scenes involving…

Rudy “Gogurt” Gobert has not yet made a shot outside of the paint during his time in the NBA. He has only attempted three. As admirable as it is to know one’s limitations and try to operate within them, the fact remains that Gobert will be merely a specialist player until he expands his range….

When not complaining about the amount of holiday time he gets or struggling with his country’s resistance to multiculturalism, Rudy Gobert spends a lot of time dunking basketballs. As he should; his tallness makes the task almost boring in its ease. Now, with both Dante Exum and Joe Ingles on his team feeding him the…

Rudy Gobert, after a rookie year of being relatively unknown, is now getting a little love from the media. Fawning articles usually reserved for Giannis now get written for Rudy. His play in the World Cup opened peoples eyes to how much of a freak this guy is. About time. So far this year the…

There must be some reason why Rudy Gobert didn’t get any minutes this season. I have several theories, listed in order of likelihood: -He looks like an alien from outer space who will zap you with his ray gun -He is French -He was assumed to be a mime incapable of speech (see: French) -He…
