Jazz Center Rudy Gobert Makes Fun Of His Three-Point Shooting During SportsCenter Interview

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jazz center Rudy Gobert made fun of his lack of skill when it comes to three-point shooting after Utah’s Game 2 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Jazz hosted the Clippers at Vivint Arena for Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Thursday, June 10.

Gobert helped Utah take a 2-0 series lead with a 117-111 victory.

After the win, the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year joined ESPN’s SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt.

During the postgame interview, Van Pelt asked the Jazzman, “How many guys on your team, Rudy, would you say you have complete belief and trust in to fire a three at any time, in any situation?’

“Pretty much anyone except myself,” Gobert responded lightheartedly.
