Man I just wanted to give a shout out to my fellow countryman, La Gobe (like Fournier always call him :D).

I’m from France, been following the Wolves since the 2003 season, I was up around 4am watching Chris Webber missing a tying 3 in game 7 of the ECSF that year, and since that moment well it’s been up and down (yea mostly down). And except for one season of Ronny Turiaf (and a bit of Mickael Gelabale), we never really had a FR player. I think we signed Batum to a restricted offer sheet like 10 years ago but that also didnt work out.

I went from fan of the trade, to “s*** I think Rudy’s back and knees might be cooked”. And he also went and played in the Worlds this summer. But this dude is made of something else.

I know it sounds a bit stupid but him not really playing up to his standards last year was like a double whammy for me, and I am just genuinely happy that the home crowd is cheering for him now, he is literally a great guy.

Naz Reid Y’all!
