Rudy Gobert wasn't going to let Damian Lillard hog all the spotlight.
Lillard threw down a massive slam during Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz, so Gobert went ahead and one-upped him. The Jazz center fought off three Portland Trail Blazers to secure an offensive rebound and went up strong for the finish.
Gobert has blossomed into one of the NBA's best stories this season, and is among the game's rising stars, using a strong two-way game to turn into a nightly double-double threat.
