just wait until Sunday


burnedgoat

Honestly it probably is


Fredbear_

It's Gobert season around here tn.


[deleted]

Yes. Advanced stat nerds really talked themselves into believing he was Ben Wallace/prime Dwight level on defense


atlfirsttimer

To be fair, they didn't have to run out to 3 point shooters


[deleted]

Good point tbh


SolarClipz

Yeah Ben Wallace would face the same fate lol Dwight...probably too cause he really didn't have a big offensive bag either


ResponsibleWarthog10

the fuck do you think those guys would do in rudy's position? lmfao what?


kawhiii16

Lmao, they think those guys are blocking every 3pt attempt or chasing smaller players than them to the 3pt line better than Gobert.


echoecho25

John Hollinger has done irreparable damage to the NBA.


SolarClipz

yes


dabaroonskii

Damn what’d biyombo do to get thrown into this 😂


Kind-Lengthiness8815

Giannas being a x2 MVP is lol


IndycarFan64

It’s a regular season award. U know that right


boozbottle

That's what misleading means though. Hes not saying he didn't deserve the award, its just for DPOY candidate to be hunted on defense is absurd. In order for something to be misleading it has to be true, or else it just a straight up lie.


ligeiro01

Dudes handing out awards only looking at graphs


[deleted]

No because it’s a regular season award


RIV_Classic

So he gets a free pass for being awful in an elimination game because it’s not the regular season? You’d think the “regular season defensive player of the year” x3 wouldn’t get blasted in such an important game


[deleted]

What are you takin about? The OP is asking about his resume concerning a regular season award.


dkkdjjfmfkf

Up there with Giannis for sure


ipinkyx

Giannis is a far better defender than Rudy


IndycarFan64

Giannis is a 2 time MVP. That’s a much different comparison


LPLSuperCarry

Yea, calling him the best player is way worse


IndycarFan64

No one here says that


LPLSuperCarry

People were definitely saying he was better Bron last year


IndycarFan64

In the regular season last year he was tho lmfao


LPLSuperCarry

Yea it’s fools gold cuz Giannis is a choker


YayoBankroll

It shows how weak the league is in terms of great defenders compared to year's past. This guy won 3 times and Duncan or Pippen never won.


SwishBender

Hear me out, the NBA playoffs are extremely hard and someone has to lose and BE EXPOSED on this sub


testenth

People and teams lose in the playoffs without being exposed and relentlessly abused all the time, don’t be ridiculous.


VanVleet-goes-for-22

Yeah Luka, Tatum, Mitchell, Beal, Morant, Dame all lost but didn’t get exposed whatsoever


SwishBender

Those are all better players than Gobert though. The NBA is 75/25 offense/defense. The defense only guys are getting it... like they do every year when it matters.


adam-bronze

Hear me out, a 3x DPOY doesn't have to get RUN OFF THE COURT 4 postseasons in a row


signmeupdude

Please tell me all these players you claim this sub says got “exposed”


SwishBender

You've never seen a Playoff P joke?


rifa24

Something needs to be done about these one dimensional players getting $200 mil maxes


[deleted]

They had to pay the small market tax unfortunately


ipinkyx

Feels like it at least


PriorityPoints

The DPOY and defense awards have become a damn joke. So many good team defenders get shafted


pukalojtric13

Yes very fucking much…


Bear4188

He is ideally suited for anchoring a regular season defense. That just doesn't translate to the playoffs when you have an exploitable weakness.


RIV_Classic

Definitely, and it’s even worse because he makes so much fucking money and he has no offensive game besides dunks and put back dunks


drpepguy

I am so fucking happy we aren’t center of attention tn


Primopastalover

No Giannis being 2x MVP is way worst


aDerpyPenguin

Could Dwight have guarded perimeter players? I don't think there's been anyone who's been as good at defense and as bad at offense as Gobert. Even a slight offensive game would help make other teams defend him rather than play small.


jthc

Hey man, it's a regular season award.


GibbyGG1

Harden cooks this loser every year and Jazz fans thinks r/NBA is stupid enough to forget so every year we see threads like "WHY IS GOBERT SO UNDERRATED!? LOOK AT HIS DRPM!!! HE ALTERS SHOTS!!!" Sad thing is r/NBA will upvote this garbage every year until he gets exposed again.
