Pokémon GO is currently all the craze, and professional athletes are beginning to focus their careers on throwing Poké Balls.

Jazz center Rudy Gobert got in on the fun Monday night while he was courtside at a Summer League game in Las Vegas. A wild Spearow appeared, setting up for a corner three, and the big man had to figure out what to do.

I’m betting that he caught it because he’s apparently a seasoned trainer.

On another note... Im coming out of my retirement as a Pokemon trainer. It's time to get my throne back. @Pokemon #PokemonGo

If you’re familiar with the brand, and the game, but are still not totally sure what’s going on with this Pokémon GO thing, you’re not alone. But you’re going to need to figure it out soon because Charmander is about to be elected as our next President.
