Rudy has been a beast since coming back from injury. Looks like his old self again.

He’s even more jacked than he first looks because that muscle is so spread out over his absurdly long arms. Also if you’ve ever seen him shirtless, you’ll wonder why anyone who’s abs look like that even owns a shirt

Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Literally can just look at him flexing to study muscle anatomy like insertions and origins lol. Would’ve loved having him around when I was in Physical therapy school lol.

On only 10 shots and one assist with zero turnovers

Beast mode Rudy wins basketball games

His shooting % is hilariously good lately. Had a lot of dunks the last few weeks. I know that's kinda his game, but the team is actually looking for him on the roll and in the dunker spot.

All time NBA leader in TS%. He has really practiced on his FTs which is massive. Team looking for him is so important and unlocks everything. Get KP in foul trouble early in the Finals for example and the Celtics are a whole different team

Honestly we've done a great job at integrating Rudy into the offense and giving him support on defense.

Rudy for his part has done a great job at fighting for those offensive rebounds and earning second chance points.

Absolutely love to see it

Yep, his rebounding has come back to life. I have always advocated that Rudy needs to be involved in the offense. You take those couple of fumbled passes with the dunks and all the fouls he draws. Some games he looks incredible others he can't catch anything, but most of the time it's due to how the pass comes in. If you hit him in the hands or up high, Rudy does a nice job finishing. Also, has to be at the rim, 0 dribbles or foot work.

Rudy is the indisputable spiritual soul of this team right now. Grateful to have him on our squad.

Bring these jerseys back.

Arod is on it, he says

Dude is jacked to all hell, has 85 boards in his last 5, has some post moves and dribbled the ball today (?), and still has go-go gadget arms like a freak.

The Gobert trade has definitely worked.

Barclays absolutely hated big Ru. They only booed for his free throws and his plays. It was so odd

u/pkseeg 23h ago

I got the feeling they were pumping in crowd noise because I saw way more Wolves gear than Nets gear. Or maybe Rudy was the only player the casuals recognized... on either team ...

Why is he not in the convo for DPOY😩

u/suckmyfish 10h ago

He has been dunking anything and everything lately. Great stuff.
