I told her Salt Lake.

I’ve been told Utahns are extremely polite, maybe to a fault. But it doesn’t have anything over Oklahoma City in that department. After Sunday’s game I walked outside and a security guard asked me about how I got internet access inside the arena, then asked where I was from.
“Whatever happened to that great big ol’ fella that played for Utah,” he said.
“Rudy Gobert?” I said.
