Rudy Gobert rewarded, he reacts!

Ultra-active in the NBA, Rudy Gobert is just as active in everyday life. The French hub is particularly known for its charitable activities and has even been awarded in the field, recently. This did not fail to make him react, on social networks.

Everything is going for the best for Utah and Rudy Gobert. With 19 wins and 7 losses, the franchise is comfortably installed on the podium of the Western Conference and therefore seems well on its way to reach the playoffs in force. The last against the Wizards was also easily won (123-98), the international tricolor showing in the passage very productive with 20 points and 11 rebounds. A success across the board, therefore.

However, it’s not just this that can make Gobzilla smile. Indeed, shortly before going to measure in Washington, the triple Defender of the Year was entitled to a new award: that of « champion of peace » by the organization Peace and Sport. The Frenchman was thanked there for his charitable activities, in particular through his association “Rudy’s Foundation”:

Note in passing that The Stifle Tower succeeds none other than Leo Messi, absolute football superstar. It must be said that its foundation has been particularly active since its creation, helping countless disadvantaged young people in many areas. Rudy had notably split with a very nice gesture towards a college in Salt Lake City, a few weeks ago.

It is therefore a very important distinction in the eyes of n ° 27, who devotes a lot of time to all this when he is not on the court. He in fact immediately responded to the announcement on Twitter, with a short but explicit message. Pride is clearly present with him! Knowing him, it can even give him additional motivation to carry his Jazz team in 2021-22.

Thank you very much🙏🏽 @peaceandsport https://t.co/GI9LvVw8O6

Deserved reward for Rudy Gobert, who shows the same commitment on that outside the courts. We hope he can magnify it with a new trophy this season! Why not the NBA title, like …
