      The most wild part of this lob is that Rudy actually caught it.

      The man has no hands. If he can actually do this consistently that would be amazing.

        he can’t dribble or catch passes on the floor. but gobert’s able to catch those arcing passes with ease.

        Nah Rudy can catch lobs at an elite level. The problem is when he’s going up for lobs and someone passes it to like his knees when he’s like 7’3 guy.

          Honestly Donovan used to kill me because he did this all the time.

          The only guys who had a consistent connection with Rudy were Conley, Ingles and Rubio, Donovan never seemed to have a great link with him passing wise and when he’s running PnR consistently he’s an easy 15ppg.

          He developed a reputation as having bricks for hands but at his peak in Utah he was 15 and 15 with elite rim protection, not a lot of players in the league can get you that.

          Also a 3x DPOY (could arguably have more) and I fully believe he’s a Hall of Famer when he’s done.

          He’s basically the modern Mutombo as a comp, who is in the HoF.

        Tf did you get that from? He was always decent at catching lobs, the problem was that donovan mitchel and anthony edwarda were the ones throwing them

          Yeah Ant is very bad at lobs and it sounds like he knows it based on what he told Coach Malone at the allstar game 😂

          When KAT, Kyle, or Conley throw Rudy lobs, he usually if not always makes them

      Rudy will never ever get any credit in this sub or the shitty NBA social media fans but that was a ridiculous catch as well

        Yeah it was.

        Tbh when Rudy makes an Ant lob, it’s mostly because of Rudy imo. Ant throws crazy lobs lol 😂

    No Conley, no KAT last night so we saw more playmaking Ant. Ant growing as a playmaker and Ant and Rudy improving their dynamic offensively will be something to watch this season in Minnesota and very important to their success.

    Ant and Gobert can really be lethal. Rudy needs just 2 post moves in his bag and he could honestly take them pretty far.

    As a Jazz fan, I already know he won’t do it on his own.

    Would love Ant to fire him up and these guys have a killer season.

    That’s not just any lob, slinging a ball like that one handed and putting it that on target? Whoo boy it’s gonna be a fun year
