Rudy Gobert sits down with Bleacher Report’s “Take It There” show and explains how Giannis is the MVP of the season for him, while he also reveals that he’s learned how to trash talk on the court in Greek!

“I tried to learn some bad words in Greek. Malaka (a–hole). Then there’s a way to say “you’re off” when you miss the shot, I think it’s “exo” (out), so in every free throw, I was like “exo, exo” (laughs).

Gobert remembers when Giannis first noticed his word-learning. “The first time he gave me a little look. Didn’t work, no.”
