Rudy Gobert’s biggest fans wanted a second chance to see their star under the lights. So naturally, they called for an encore.
On Friday, Jazz management unveiled its “Gobert/Encore” jazz album — yes, like the music, not the basketball team — the centerpiece of their efforts campaigning for Gobert to win Defensive Player of the Year for a second consecutive season. The album is a nearly note-for-note reproduction of John Coltrane’s debut album, first released in 1957.
