VIDEO: Rudy Gobert glides in for massive dunk

Russ Isabella / USA TODAY Sports

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert has been dubbed the nickname "Stifle Tower" for his French citizenship and his defensive ability, but he's no slouch on offense, either.

Blessed with a 29-inch vertical and a gigantic 9-foot-7 standing reach, Gobert can dunk from just about everywhere inside the paint.

On Saturday, Gobert took off from the dotted circle and completed a dunk in traffic against the Brooklyn Nets.
