Rudy Gobert has been taking a steady stream of Ls this year.

No NBA player has had a worse 2020 than Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz. It all started when he took the Coronavirus for a joke and ended up getting infected with it. In fact, Gobert was the first player to end up with the virus, and eventually, his teammate Donovan Mitchell got it too. From there, rumors began to swirl that he had ghosted the Jazz and that none of his teammates wanted anything to do with him. He’s even gotten into arguments with fans on Twitch, which has only made matters worse.

Recently, Gobert made a fool out of himself for a completely different reason. On Twitter, he reposted a politically charged post from a woman named Serena Williams. Well, it’s not the Serena Williams you’re probably thinking of, although, he couldn’t seem to make that distinction apparently. Yes, that’s right, Gobert tagged the real Serena Williams in a post from a random middle-aged white lady on Facebook.

In the grand scheme of things, is this a big deal? No. However, you can’t help but feel like things just keep getting worse for the NBA star. Every time he goes to social media, he says something or does something that gives fans a reason to clown on him.

Hopefully, he can redeem himself when the NBA starts back up again next month.
