Rudy Gobert’s first game in Salt Lake City as an opponent of the Utah Jazz began with him receiving a thunderous ovation but ended with a cascade of boos from many of those same fans who’d cheered him just hours before.
But Jazz point guard Mike Conley said that game could not compare to this one. After himself making
“It’s going to be a lot — it’s real heavy. You have a lot of different memories,” Conley explained. “Me being in Memphis for so long and basically being raised there, growing up there, it was unique for me, a lot of my family was there. And for Rudy, it’s going to be the same. On Friday night, after he’d made 8 of 11 shots and 6 of 10 free throws en route to 22 points and 13 rebounds, and all the ensuing extracurriculars were over, the Frenchman was asked whether he was planning to sell his place now that he resides in Minneapolis.“I have a lot of great memories in this house. My family loves it, I love it. I hope to be able to come back when I can,” Gobert said. “I just love being here, so I’m planning on keeping it.
He called the Jazz “a world-class organization” who made constant improvements during his time here which put players in a position to succeed. He keeps in touch with various people in the organization.
“We were at his house for a team dinner at one point, and you just saw bees floating around randomly — an unusual amount. And he was like, ‘Oh, I’ve got a beehive out there,’ back there in the corner of his yard. And I was like, ‘Dude, what?’ I’ve never seen that,” Conley said. “So when he came in with the bee sting, I was like, ‘It makes sense — it would be something that happens to Rudy,’ with all his things he’s interested in. It was pretty funny.
“But no, I appreciate it — I learned something new from him, I didn’t know that stuff. I mean, I watched that ‘Bee Movie,’ but …” he added, trailing off into laughter. “Him being a person that I knew, just giving me information on how bees help the world and everything, I’m like, ‘Man, this s---’s crazy! I didn’t even know that.’ That’s why I said he brings a different intellect, something different to the table every time, and that’s why I really appreciate him.
