OAKLAND, Calif. — An emotional Rudy Gobert addressed the media at the Utah Jazz’s practice facility one day after learning he wasn’t selected as a reserve for the 2019 NBA All-Star Game.
He grew teary-eyed before walking out of the scrum on Feb. 1 as he discussed how his being left out impacted his mother, Corinne, who currently lives in France.
With the scene being captured on social media, the video went viral within seconds, sparking the attention of Golden State Warriors teammates Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, who decided to troll the Jazz big man on Twitter.
