Any retired jerseys before Gobert?

Eaton was Gobert before Gobert was Gobert.

No, not really. He was a really big slow center who played in an era where it was easier to block shots and when being a really big slow center wasnt a death knell in the NBA.

So when they retired his number they should have compared him to the 2018 game?

No, that is Mutumbo/Russell.

Mark Eaton was the predecessor to Shawn Bradley.

"Rudy Gobert is the best Utah Jazz center since Mark Eaton."

What makes that statement true is why Eaton's number was retired. Shawn Bradley was a scarecrow and was easily pushed out of the paint by smaller players. No one moved Eaton.
