Strongly questioned since the start of the season, Rudy Gobert is attacked at the slightest opportunity identified by his detractors. This Monday, it’s not even so much because of his performance, but that of another star that he got destroyed!
Even a victory against the leaders of the Western Conference is obviously not enough for him to pass between the drops. Discreet this Monday against the Nuggets (8 points, 4 rebounds), Rudy Gobert could still congratulate himself on the success acquired by the Timberwolves against the Nuggets (124-111). Yet he finds himself in the eye of the storm, not only internallybut also on the networks, and not necessarily through his fault.
Gobert cut after Donovan Mitchell’s crazy evening
As he overcame Nikola Jokic’s gang with his teammates, Gobert was upstaged by his former flagship Jazz teammate, Donovan Mitchell. In fusion against the Bulls, the rear of Cleveland signed one of the greatest all-time performances. This logically earned him great praise on the networks… but also gave rise to scathing criticism of the French pivot!
Gobert stans kept telling the world for years that Gobert was better than Donovan Mitchell ????????
They all should be stripped from having a bball opinion (that matters) moving forward https://t.co/61XCebtNgW

Gobert fans have been screaming from the rooftops for years that Gobert is better than Donovan Mitchell ???????? They should all be banned from talking basketball after this!
Six months after their separation, Gobzilla and Spida thus continue to be put in competition, which clearly did not suit the tricolor big man on this one. The proof with the other comparisons of the genre made by Internet users in recent hours:
I remember when some stat nerds were saying Gobert>Mitchell ????

Mitchell tonight: 71pts

Mitchell tonight: 71 points. Meanwhile, Gobert is unable to take 5 rebounds
No doubt delighted to see Donovan Mitchell having fun in this way at the Cavaliers, Rudy Gobert however paid the price to some fans, who purely and simply destroyed him by bringing him closer to Spida. We must believe that all excuses are good!
