NBA star Rudy Gobert has voiced his approval of Donald Trump's appointee for health secretary ahead of the president-elect's return to the White House.

As the clock ticks down to his inauguration on January 20, Trump has already begun to rapidly fill the spots up for grabs in his cabinet and the West Wing. And, amid the slew of appointments, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become one of the most influential men in health.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the public health sector due to Kennedy's controversial stances on health.

However, amid the criticism of his appointment, Kennedy, the nephew of JFK, could find support in the NBA.

Gobert, a center for the Minnesota Timberwolves, came out in support of the anti-vaxxer on social media.

'Let’s go @RobertKennedyJr,' the French player posted to Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, along with a praying emoji.

The post sparked a liberal meltdown among basketball fans online with many slamming Gobert for his endorsement.

It is so bizarre seeing RFK, JR being part of the inner circle on the plane and at the UFC fights.

TRUE. Golbert was playing for the Utah Jazz and publicly mocked getting tested for COVID. A few days later the results were given less than an hour before a game at OKC. Ticket holders were told the game was cancelled, but not why. The next day the NBA shut down, quickly followed by other shutdowns.

Appropriately, the end of the shutdowns also occurred in Oklahoma in June, when Trump held an indoor rally in Tulsa.
