Rudy Gobert

Rudy Gobert is a French basketball player who takes center position on the floor. The athlete represents the Utah Jazz NBA club, and is also a member of the national team.

Rudy was born on June 26, 1992 in Saint-Quentin - a city located in the north of France. The fact that the boy's biography would be associated with basketball became clear immediately, because he was the son of a professional player Rudy Burgarel. A Guadeloupe national, he represented the French national team in the 1980s. Parents expectedly encouraged the interests of their son.

Rudy Jr. has shown athletic potential since childhood. In 2003, he started playing for the city club Saint-Quentin, and soon joined the team of the same name, playing in the second division. By 2007, Gobert received an invitation to the professional club "Cholet". Already in 2010, he participated in the FIBA ​​European Junior Championship as a representative of the national team. At this tournament, the athlete received the title of the best scorer and ricochet of the team.

Rudy Gobert is an avid social media user. He has verified accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The athlete regularly pleases his followers by publishing a photo. He shares the news about his everyday life, pictures taken during matches and training, at public events and with his loved ones.

Despite the fact that the basketball player is open to communication with subscribers and fans, the romantic details of his personal life still remain a secret. In the profiles of the sports star, there are no pictures with a person that fans could take for Gobert's beloved.

Rudy travels a lot. Men have a peculiar tradition on Instagram. He posts pictures in picturesque places. On them Gobert is captured from the back and with a full swing of his arms. By the way, this physical indicator of an athlete is 235 cm. In 2013, Gobert became the record holder for this parameter under the conditions of calculation from the measuring point to the place that he can touch while standing. True, a year later, Walter Tavares beat his colleague's performance. His arm span was 4 cm larger.

The player is 216 cm tall and weighs 113 kg.

Officially, his professional basketball career started in 2009. But he played for the junior team until 2011. In the 2010/2011 season, he appeared on the floor with Cholet only once. During this match, the athlete scored 6 points, carried out 1 block shot and 1 interception. Things got better the next season. On average, Gobert received about 4 points per game and made up to 4 rebounds. The basketball player played 29 matches for the team.

At the 2011 European Championships, Gobert won a bronze medal as part of the national team, representing juniors in the under 20 category. A year later, in the next age category, the team, not without Rudy's participation, won the silver medal of the tournament. The Frenchman, along with Leo Westerman, got into the symbolic team of the championship. In preparation for the 2012 Olympics, coach Vincent Collet invited Gobert to participate in 2 friendly matches. The athlete earned 8 points in them.

In 2013, Rudy expressed his desire to become a participant in the NBA draft. He was invited to play at the Denver Nuggets Club. The guy got the 27th number, but on the day of the draft he preferred the jersey with the number 46, which was offered by the Utah Jazz team. As part of the exchange, Rudy received a financial bonus and player Eric Green. The contract was signed, and Gobert began to participate in the NBA Summer League.

Six months later he was sent to Bakersfield Jam, but returned a week later. Then the basketball player went back to Jam for a few days and soon found himself back in Utah. In the summer of 2014, he again represented Utah Jazz in the Summer League.

In the same year, as a member of the national team, Rudy Gobert won the bronze medal of the World Championship. He won a similar award as part of the team a year later at the European Championship. In the fall, the contract with Utah was extended. The second season brought the athlete real success: he was among the progressing basketball players in the league. In 2016, Utah signed a 4-year contract with the Frenchman. According to the terms, the player's fee was $ 102 million, which became a kind of record in the professional community.

During the 2016/2017 season, Rudy Gobert participated in 30 matches, in each of which he differed in rebounds. As a result, by the end of the season, the basketball player became a member of the 2nd symbolic team and a member of the 1st national defense team. Experts also named him the best player in terms of the number of block shots produced.

In the spring of 2020, a coronavirus pandemic was announced in the world. Not all representatives of the public community immediately realized the severity of the threat. Rudy Gobert was among those who ridiculed the beginning of the epidemic and assured that it was unlikely that it would be as easy to get infected as it seems. Speaking at a press conference in March, the basketball player demonstratively touched the microphones used during the meeting. This caused discontent among fans and journalists. A couple of days later, it became known that the athlete had contracted the disease.

After 2 weeks, the player's health was normal. As well as his colleague, Donovan Mitchell, the man quickly recovered, but a wave of negativity followed him for a long time. The NBA was suspended due to the epidemic, and the matches were canceled. Later, the ban extended to all sports, implying training, matches and tournaments.
