SALT LAKE CITY – Rudy Gobert has made countless big plays for the Utah Jazz in nine seasons on both ends of the basketball court.

With nine years of memories, big plays and moments, it’s hard to find just five of the best plays that Rudy Gobert made in a Jazz uniform.

KSL SportsBeat was able to compile the top five plays.

Here are the five best plays from Rudy Gobert’s career during his nine seasons with the Utah Jazz.

5. Rudy Gobert Goes Statue Of Liberty In New York City

The Jazz weren’t even 10 games into the 2016-17 season when Gobert was making highlight plays. On November 6, 2016, the Jazz were in the Big Apple to face the New York Knicks. George Hill was driving along the baseline when he found Gobert diving towards the basket. Hill dished Gobert the ball, who took it and threw down a left-handed slam dunk over Kristaps Porzingis.

The Jazz beat the Knicks 114-109 with Gobert recording 13 points and eight rebounds.
