Shannon Sharpe claims Rudy Gobert is effectively nullifying Nikola Jokic's impact on the game.

“Joe, we talked about it in game two. The job that Rudy Gobert is doing on Nikola Jokic, I don't think it's being talked about enough because he's done a number on it.”

Joe Johnson asserts that Rudy Gobert is making it difficult for Nikola Jokic to score.

“I just I think Minnesota doing a great job but just taking just taking you know, take taking the challenge as far as guarding a man, Rudy making it tough on big Yoke.”
