“Evan admires Rudy’s journey”: Fournier-Gobert, a long-standing friendship

The bet has been on the table for seven years. Simple in appearance, it can be more complex when one is called Rudy Gobert (30 years old), a large carcass of 2.16 m hardly known for aligning long distance shots. The challenge, launched by Evan Fournier, is in one action: that the pivot scores a three-point basket in step back (movement which consists in taking a step back to get rid of its defender) in an official match. The pledge is heavy with consequences: Fournier has promised to end his career if successful.
