Rudy Gobert has fans of all ages, and one of those fans really wanted the Utah Jazz star to know that they figured out how to go to the bathroom. Gobert was mentioned on Twitter by a mother whose child was so exited about using the indoor plumbing that they wanted to tell the Jazz star about their success first and foremost. Why? Well, who knows. The year 2018 is weird.
My kid just did 💩 in the potty and he said the first person he wanted to tell was @rudygobert27.

It’s a bit of an odd thing to have happened, but I suppose that’s the price of being a sports idol to people of all ages. Gobert is beloved in Utah, and it’s easy to see how a player of his caliber could become a big part of a kid’s life, even if it’s just through the prism of social media.
Thankfully, Gobert took the message in stride. He said on Friday that he was “very honored” to be at the very top of this child’s list of people to tell now that they’ve finally gone to the bathroom.
I'm very honored 🙏🏽 https://t.co/cs6d4G9QBM

In a modern world where so much of what we see pop up on social media on any given day belongs in an actual toilet, seeing someone express some oddly happy news to a favorite player is just nice, even if it is news this unconventional.
