Rudy Gay shows why he was nominated for best teammate
One moment from the Spurs’ win over Washington most shows how much the team loves Rudy.
It was recently announced that Rudy Gay was nominated for the 2018-19 Twyman-Stokes Award: a player-voted award goes to the NBA’s best teammate, and one little clip from the Spurs blowout of the Wizards shows why:

That being said, no word yet on whether Rudy was the victim of any April Fool’s jokes from his peers.
