Rudy Gobert Leads Dunkfest for Utah Jazz in Win Over New York Knicks

The traditional big man has been phased out in today’s NBA, but that doesn’t mean guys of a large stature can’t still be effective.

And 24-year-old Utah Jazz budding star Rudy Gobert is proof positive of that fact.

Check out what the 7-foot-1 Frenchman did to the lousy New York Knicks on Wednesday night.

Gobert dunked for 16 of his career-high 35 points and added 13 rebounds with four big blocks to fuel the Jazz to a 108-101 victory.

And the scariest part for the rest of the league is he’s just scratching the surface on his potential.
