This is what is called holding out the stick to get beaten. Rudy Gobertguest on the set of TNT to react to his fourth trophy for best defender of the year, Charles Barkley dared to ask him if the first name “Charles” was in the Frenchman’s “short list” for his son.
After hesitation, the Wolves pivot, whose son is named Romeo, ended up responding: “ I tried to choose people I like! Charles is also a French first name by the way. Unfortunately, you were not selected. But I still love you, Charles! »
A nice repartee addressed to the one who had described the arrival of Rudy Gobert in Minnesota as the “ worst exchange in history » a year ago… The discourse concerning him has evolved a lot since then, because his team keeps winning. After their second straight victory in Denver, the Wolves are now seriously approaching the conference final.
Marked by the performance of his team
A Game 2 for which the Frenchman had to stay away precisely because of the birth of his son. “ It was incredible! It’s obvious that as a competitor, you always want to be there for this kind of match. I told the guys the only thing that could make me miss a game was the birth of my son and it happened », blurts the inside.
This was marked by the performance of Anthony Edwards and others. “ They did the job. They did it incredibly defensively and offensively. The love they showed me, despite the distance, is something I will never forget », adds the four-time best defensive player in the league, who arrived in Minnesota to “ change the culture ».
A bet that is paying off today. “ I never had any doubts, I always said that great things take time. You know, winning doesn’t happen overnight. You can bring the best players together, any type of player, you have to face adversity, go through ups and downs. This was the case last year. »The Wolves are reaping the benefits today.
