The Downbeat: The Rudy Gobert Eclipse

There was a solar eclipse yesterday did you hear? If you hadn’t, congratulations because that has consumed every form of news and media. Heck I even got out of the first day of class in one of my courses so everyone could see it. It was pretty amazing for those that got to experience it. That was the first total solar eclipse in the United States since 1979.

Do you know what happens on a regular basis during the NBA season? The Rudy Gobert eclipse:

A solar #eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially BLOCKS the Sun.
