Rudy Gobert Gives Hilarious Response to Charles Barkley’s Question About His 1st Baby 'Romeo'
Charles Barkley and Rudy Gobert had a very light moment with each other regarding the name of Gobert's new born son. What did Barkley say? Let's find out.
Rudy Gobert, the center for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has had a busy week. Not only is his team leading the Denver Nuggets 2-0, but he also missed Game 2 due to attending his first child's birth. Gobert won Defensive Player of the Year for the fourth time in his NBA career. He and Charles Barkley laughed about the name of their unborn child during an Inside the NBA interview.
What Was the Conversation Between Barkley and Gobert?
Charles asked Gobert, “When you were picking out names and came up on Romeo, where did Charles come up on the list? Was I in the Top 5?”
This is what Gobert replied to Barkley, “I tried to pick people that I like. I like you. Charles is a French name too. You were on the list, but we wanted to name it on our own. So, unfortunately, you didn’t make the cut. But I still love you, Charles."
