He's pissed about not making the all-star team. That's going to bother him forever.

Ok so back during Gobert's rookie year I was driving around one night and had the Jazz game on the radio. This was during the trust the process 76ers stuff and the Jazz gave Gobert some minutes right before the end of the 3rd quarter, he didn't play much in those days. So Brown the Philly coach decides to hack Gobert and intentionally put him on the line. And Gobert is having NONE OF IT. Locke and Boone, the radio play by play guys, are cracking up narrating it because Rudy was so hot and is woofing at Brown the whole time. Like standing at the line and yelling at Brown because he felt so disrespected.

I think I found the box score - [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400489660"]76ers vs. Jazz - Box Score - February 12, 2014 - ESPN[/URL] and if you check the play by play at the end of the 3rd quarter you can see the FTs Gobert made. He hit both, but later missed his next 2.

Anyway, that always stuck with me, one because of how much the radio guys were cracking up, but two because it was clear early on that Rudy cares. He wants to win, he wants to be great, and he has a Jordanesque radar for signs of disrespect. And unlike most people, he's able to take that and turn it into positive drive to improve.

He's awesome.
