Watch: Nets' Whitehead comes from behind for ruthless denial on Gobert
Troy Taormina / USA TODAY Sports
Rudy Gobert is one of the NBA's premier shot-blockers, but he found himself on the receiving end of a rejection Monday.
The 7-foot-1 Utah Jazz center got the ball while cutting to the rim in the third quarter and went up for an uncontested dunk, only to get swatted from behind by 6-foot-4 Brooklyn Nets rookie Isaiah Whiteside.
Gutsy stuff from the 21-year-old.
