Russell Westbrook on Being Guarded by 7'1" Rudy Gobert: 'He Ain't No Different'
In perhaps the most unsurprising news of the week, Russell Westbrook is not intimidated by anybody.
That includes 7'1" Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert.ย ย
Westbrook commented on going up against Gobert following his Houston Rockets' 114-113 last-second loss to the Jazz on Sunday nightย (NSFW language):ย
Westbrook bucketed a game-high 39 points in the loss and continually challenged Gobert at the rim. The 2016-17 league MVP executed an emphatic dunk over the reigning back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year and separately taunted him with his trademark "rock the baby" celebration following a lay-in:
Gobert finished with 12 points and 15 rebounds, and teammate Bojan Bogdanovic nailed a buzzer-beater to lift Utah over Houston:
The 34-18 Jazz tied the regular-season series with the 33-20 Rockets at 1-1, and the two squads will square off one more time in Salt Lake City on Feb. 22.ย
