A biography for Rudy Goberthasn’t been written yet.
“I haven't scratched the surface of what I can become offensively.”
“I take a lot of pride in being healthy.”
“I want to be an offensive player, too. Play low post, midrange, take jump shots, and just be the best I can be.”
“I was watching 'Space Jam' when I was a kid but that was pretty much the only thing I knew about the NBA.”
“Defense is so important for helping your team win games and for the game in general.”
“I'm prepared to guard anyone.”
“First, I'm just trying to set screens for my teammates and then just be aggressive, make the right play.”
“I think when you're a very good defensive team you give yourself a chance every night, on the road, at home, it's a big factor and something to build on.”
“It's not just about doing things in Utah or in France. It's about doing things everywhere and having an impact everywhere. There are a lot of charities that do a remarkable job that just don't have much light and much support.”
“There are a lot of people that never thought I was going to be the guy that I am now. Now when I see them, it's fun to see how people are. I don't think they're being fake. I think now they just see me from a different eye.”
“That's what it's all about at the end of the day. What can you do? What difference can you make in the world?”
“I just try to do what I do by getting my teammates open and getting better at finishing and making plays when I can.”
“I'd take the Defensive Player of the Year any day over an All-Star selection. There's only one of these in the whole league every year.”
“I always love to help the community, to interact with the kids, with the fans. It doesn't matter who I am on the court, to me it's important.”
“I'm working on my lower body, my explosiveness.”
“I want to improve every part of my game.”
“When we get bad shots, it's hard to rebound and it's also harder to come back in transition defense.”
“When you have a coach that is a competitor, that wants to win more than anything else, it really carries over to the team.”
“It's good to be held accountable.”
“I've been away from my family even when I was in France.”
