Rudy Gobert's girlfriend, Julia Bonilla, is taking big issue with how her partner is perceived by his peers around the league.

In an anonymous poll conducted by The Athletic, the T'Wolves big man received the highest amount of votes (13.6%) from players in the Association that he's the most overrated.

Taking to social media, the mother-to-be had this to say about Gobert's place in the NBA (via TMZ Sports):

My partner is the most dedicated, focused, hard-working person I have ever met. He hasn't stolen anything from anyone and deserves all the respect for his determination and commitment to his career. It's hard for me to stay quiet in front of so much stupidity, disrespect and nonsense. I am so proud of the person he is -- fair, a great teammate, with a good heart and a strong mind. I am proud of you, and our son is proud of you.

The three-time Defensive Player of the Year has once again been named a finalist for the award this season after bouncing back from a bit of a down year in 2023.

Gobert has come under fire in the past for his game but he does what he does at a very high level.

He'll compete for DPOTY with Miami's Bam Adebayo and Spurs rookie sensation (and fellow Frenchman) Victor Wembanyama.
