VIDEO: Rudy Gobert cleans up glass with 1-handed throwdown

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

It must be nice being Rudy Gobert, knowing no ball is ever out of reach because you stand 7-foot-1 with a wingspan approaching 7-foot-9.

The Philadelphia 76ers' big-man combo of Nerlens Noel and rookie Jahlil Okafor had zero luck boxing out "The Stifle Tower" during Friday's home game against the Utah Jazz, with Gobert leaping above both giants to deliver a monstrous putback jam off a Trey Burke miss.

Gobert. Long.

Gobert finished sixth in the NBA last season in offensive rebounds per game at 3.2. His 265 total offensive boards also ranked sixth overall.
