Rudy Gobert has been one of the best defensive players in the league for the last few years. The Timberwolves star has proved himself as an elite rim protector and an aggressive shot blocker, which has won him four Defensive Player of the Year awards.
However, when it comes to facing the best of the best like Nikola Jokic, even the most battle-trained defenders lose their footing. Fortunately, Gobert has held his own against the Nuggets superstar on many occasions.
Gobert hasn’t completely shut down the Joker in any game, but he has limited his effectiveness in certain games, giving his team a window of opportunity. On Thursday, Rudy Gobert appeared as a guest on “The Young Man and the Three” podcast, where he discussed the Timberwolves’ winning culture and more.
