Rudy Gobert spent his summer playing for France at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

France had a talented roster led by several NBA players, but they were not expected to come close to winning the Gold medal.

That said, they pulled off a miraculous upset over Germany and put up a good fight against Team USA (and won the Silver medal).

Following the Olympics, Gobert sent out a post to Instagram that had over 10,000 likes.

Gobert captioned his post (translated to English): "Proud of my brothers, no gold around their necks, but an adventure and lessons worth more than Gold. Thank you France, thank you everyone for the love and support. The path continues… ❤️"
