Antonio Rudiger has been solid since Maurizio Sarri decided to stick with him and David Luiz as Chelsea’s central defensive pairing for the season.
The German has helped Chelsea to four wins on the spin and we are currently sitting pretty at the top of the table, tied with Liverpool and Watford.
The 25-year-old seems to be getting the hang of playing “Sarri-ball” and he recently shared an image on Twitter with possibly the greatest NBA player of all time.

LeBron James recently joined the LA Lakers from the Cleveland Cavaliers but some Chelsea fans believed the American was standing with the GOAT (Greatest of all time), Rudiger.
There were a few hilarious responses and some even claimed that Rudiger is well on his way to becoming a legend soon.
Only 1 GOAT in the picture and that is you
