Basketball Player

The Resume

    (June 26, 1992- )
    Born in St. Quentin, France
    Birth name is Rudy Gobert-Bourgarel
    Drafted 27th overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2013 NBA Draft
    Center for the Utah Jazz
    Contracted COVID 19, prompting NBA to indefinitely suspend its season (March 2020)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was traded to the Jazz minutes after being selected by the Nuggets.
    He spent the majority of his rookie season on the bench.
    He struggled at playing basketball during his early teen years.
    He admitted to taking his statistics way too seriously and getting upset at himself when he didn't have a good game.
    At a press conference two days before being diagnosed with the coronavirus, he flouted the NBA's procedures to isolate players from the media by leaning over a table and touching every mic and recorder he could reach.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He set new records at the NBA Draft Combine for wingspan and standing reach (both have since been broken).
    He was the first native of France to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award.
    He set an NBA record for most slam dunks recorded in a single season.
    His hard nosed style of play led him to defy stereotypes of French born players, which some basketball pundits feel are too soft.
