Standing at 7ft 1in (2.16m) tall with a wingspan of 7ft 9in (2.36m) long, he plays the center position. Nicknamed "the Stifle Tower", he is regarded as one of the best defensive players of all time.
Gobert has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award four times, tied for the most in NBA history with Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace. He is a four-time All-NBA Team member, eight-time All-Defensive First Team member, and three-time NBA All-Star. Gobert was also the NBA blocks leader in the 2016–17 season and the NBA rebounding leader in the 2021–22 season.
