This week we are excited to welcome Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert to ‘The Old Man and the Three’! We get into so many different topics with Rudy. JJ and Tommy open the pod by discussing how fantastic this NBA regular season has been and how much they are looking forward to the final weekend this weekend. Then when Rudy joins, he discusses his mentality around blocking dunks and how he leads as the defensive anchor of the Wolves. He also shares his defensive philosophy on the Wolves with having teammates like Karl-Anthony Towns, Jaden McDaniels, Anthony Edwards, and more, and how that compares to the personnel he had with the Utah Jazz. JJ and Rudy also get into detail about how great defense isn’t always the flashiest, why perimeter defenders get more shine than big men, and some of Rudy’s pick-and-roll secrets. Rudy also shares what he’s thought about Victor Wembanyama’s season and what he’s seen in him since meeting him five years ago. Then, they have a draft of ‘French Things.’ It’s a packed episode. Let’s go!
