Rudy Gobert Lashes Out At Troll Who Claims He Started COVID-19 In NBA

Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert lashed out at a troll who claimed he started the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the NBA; which led to the suspension of the season.

On Monday (May 4), a video surfaced of the NBA’s patient zero, showing him playing a game of Call of Duty on Twitch, and during his play he took the time to respond to a troll pointing the finger at him for end of the league’s season.

The troll, identified under the username gbgator, commented, “Thanks for starting the coronavirus in the NBA dumb*ass.” Subsequently, they received a backhanded slap from Gober, as he quipped, “Hey, gabo, gato, gator. Go to school, p*ssy.”

For those unknowing, Gobert tested positive for the fatal virus in early March. Prior to his diagnosis, he’d gone on a careless and reckless tirade in the conference room, touching al of the reporters’ mics, mocking the severity of the virus. He’s since apologized.
