Rudy was born on June 26, 1992 in Saint-Quentin, a town located in the north of France. One could have guessed that the boy's biography would be related to basketball, because Gobert is the son of professional player Rudy Burgarel. Guadeloupean by nationality, his father represented the Fifth Republic team in the 1980s and 1990s.



Parents were expected to encourage their son's interests. True, the lion's share of the troubles fell on the shoulders of the mother – Frenchwoman Corinne Gobert broke up with Burgarel when the child was 3 years old. But the woman did not hinder communication between relatives, and Rudy Gobert Jr. regularly went to Guadeloupe. Gobert has shown athletic potential since childhood. In 2003, he began playing for the Saint-Quentin city team, and soon joined the team of the same name, which played in the 2nd division. In 2007, Rudy received an invitation to the Cholet professional club. https://rudy-gobert.biz/
