@myleekb I'm not an NBA fan, so idk what you're talking about. The NBA is not legitimate competition much of the team, with many of the games predetermined as to their outcome off the court. What you're interpreting as me being an NBA fan is actually just me pointing out fallacious reasoning of casuals who don't understand the SPORT of basketball. For example, you're claiming Gobert got grilled by Jokic in the post? Is this a joke? MN took out Denver, the defending champs. And the way that they did this was by putting an oversized PF (KAT) who played center for many years on Jokic near the perimeter but then they had Gobert roaming behind him so that Jokic essentially had to beat two centers to get to his spot near the basket where he's most effective People who don't understand basketball, particular defensive schemes, interpreted this as KAT playing better defense on Jokic than Gobert. Which is just flat out ignorant. KAT only APPEARED TO play good defense on Jokic because he had Gobert roaming behind him protecting the rim. Same for Naz Reid. If you put either KAT or Naz in a 1 on 1 scenario against Jokic. Without Gobert roaming behind them at the rim, they'd get beat almost every single time. Try looking at Gobert's advanced defensive stats in the playoffs so far, including the Denver series. It's elite across the board. People who think otherwise are ALWAYS engaging in fallacious reasoning. Every time. Usually cherry picking 1 play.

Dikembe Mutombo Career stats: 9.8 PPG, 10.3 RPG, 3,2 STOCKS, *1.8 TO* - 52% FG, *68.5% FT* - 4 DPOY Ben Wallace Career stats: 5.7 PPG, 9.8 RPG, *3,3 STOCKS,* 1 TO - 47.5% FG, 41.5% FT - 4 DPOY Dennis Rodman Career stats: 7.3 PPG, *13.1 RPG,* 1.3 STOCKS, 1.6 TO - 52% FG, 58.5% FT - 2 DPOY RUDY GOBERT Career stats: *12.7 PPG,* 11.8 RPG, 2.8 STOCKS, 1.6 TO - *65.5% FG,* 64% FT - 4 DPOY Tell me, why is Gobert hated for his subpar offense, when so many defensive greats before him are not? Noone cared if Rodman made points, or Mutombo... hell Ben Wallace was 7th in MVP voting in his prime averaging 9.5 PPG on 42%/12.5%/49% shooting splits! Wallace never averaged over 10 PPG in his entire career in the 1st place, Rodman did it once... in his 2nd NBA season! Mutombo, to his advantage, at least averaged 10+ PPG his entire prime. But so does Gobert... And can anyone imagine Mutombo trying to defend MJ in 1on1 situations on the perimeter? Or Wallace defending Kobe? Exactly... The hate has nothing to do with him as a player. It has to do with jealousy. He is the 13th higest payed player in the league right now. 13th... earning basically twice as much as Green, one of his most outspoken critics. In the last year of his current contract he will also earn 20 Mio more then Shaq ever did. Did anyone notice that all the hate actually really started AFTER he signed is Max extension in Dec of 2020? Yeah, the Covid thing wasnt good, but he wasnt the most hated player in the league at that point... but as soon as he signed that 200+ Mio contract... Petty, jealous, small minded men with big egos! Those are the ones hating on Gobert. Btw, I am a Mavs fan... a Mavs fan from Germany on top of that! So I dont really like this guy, or anything french whatsoever in the 1st place. Its in my DNA! I cheered every time Luka puts him on skates, or Lively/Gafford dunked on his head! But I am fair enough to recognize that he is clearly the best defender in the NBA for nearly a decade. And I respect that as well! Thats what men do!

Those 3 that you listed have solid iq and prediction, can guard multiple positions and are athletic. No DPOY before Rudy were under the basket merchants. I've been saying it to my friends for a long time. Gorbert does not add anything another 7 footer bench player could not do. He gets out muscled by lighter guys for rebounds, if the wolves perimeter defense collapses, he becomes a cone, he doesn't take charge to guard the ball when it enters the paint, he is reliant on others to pick up the coverage so he can play help defense. He looks good when he is on help duty. On an island 1 v 1 against another centre, he's cooked.

No one wants Gobert AT THAT PRICE. That’s really the big thing. He has another 90/M left on the 2 remaining years on his contract and after that SHOULD be re-signed more in the 10-20/M range. He is far more valuable when he’s playing in high leverage situations later in games where he’s not asked to be a perimeter defender. If KAT leaves this year for better, lower priced defenders then Rudy can just be a defensive center and not a 3-4th option. He should be strictly cleanup. Bring in two great two way players for Townes and run it back next year. Naz replaces KAT in the starting lineup and now you have far better defensive flexibility in the playoffs. KAT for someone LIKE OG would be ideal.

@@lightbeforethetunnel I was thinking it would be something like Randle, Bogdanovic and 4-5 #1 picks for Townes. I don’t think they’d lose a lot offensively with those two guys and the picks could replenish what they lost in the Gobert deal.

I have no issue RG besides being a multiple time Dpoy can not guard an all star when it counts. Are they trying to increase viewers statistics in France? Alex Caruso shows up ever game & it seems like the suggestion he deserved it was appalling. The league is being lead by the marketing dept it appears.

in what context whatsoever does it make sense to call ben simmons lebron james 2.0? that makes sense in 0 ways

Is funny, because every nba fan love the stadistic fact, but only with Gobert they over sea that info

for sur comparing to Simmons and Brooks , Gobert deserve a lot less to be hated, he just did one stupid thing during covid and he is a specialized defensive player in an era of offensive polyvalence , and some of the guys that trash him are trashing in the same time this era because the defensie aspect of the game is less physical and because the "soft" european are taking over, just try to be a bit logic

Lots of stories to dig into here. The microscope is rough.

I just want to say watch first play from him you showed. What was he supposed to do? Mitchell was bullied, he can help and risk an open 3 or allow an easy layup. How is he supposed to guard this? Next Luka cooking his D wasn't him being bad it was Luka being nasty. He put up great D against Joker, Jokič just decided to tear drop everything in showing superior touch. Game winner.. Well.. He stayed close, he contented that 3 pointer. I am Luka fan from Slovenia and Rudy hater but sill we have to be realistic.

Gobert doesn't rate a video this long. Not interested.

Ben Simmons best fit in Spurs, Wizards, Magic or Suns

Believe me , he doesn't give fcuk what you fools are saying, all he knows he just got a baby, that The Wolves reached the WCF finals, he goes to Paris for the Olympics this summer, thats he became DPOY for the fourth time, and that play-in Draymond is old garbage

Why is the video the very same video A.M Hoop did on Gorbert?

NBA really needs to start fining people for doing that heroin emote. There is absolutely nothing cool about pretending you shot up because you think you made a great shot. People dying over that stuff and yet some people seem to think its cool to pretend they got "dope in their viens". I mean, really? What if someone makes a great shot and then does an emote like they are lighting up the crack pipe? Is that acceptable? I know damn well yall dont play around with drug use. And yet drug use emotes are okay?

Plus/minus means absolutely nothing. Even if it happens to line up with your play, that just coincidence. A correlation not equaling causation type of thing. It's not an individual stat. Its a circumstantial stat based on everything that everyone does or doesn't do while u happen to be on the court and is not a causation of what u did on the court. U can play terrible and have a great +/-, and u can play great and have a terrible +/-

@lightbeforethetunnel I didn't make any comment about Rudy, or rather he's good or not. Just commenting about the stat alone. It's extremely convoluted, and most ppl don't know are give any thought to how it's calculated. It's not a stat that's based on your play, it's based on everyone on the courts play and credited to u, good or bad. It's a really bad stat is all I was saying. Didn't mention Rudy at all, it wasn't Rudy hate.

@@dwaynehiler5735 🤣Guess that all you want. It isn't perfect, but no stat is. However, over long periods, the value increases. If a person predominantly plays with starters and they have a huge impact (as Rudy showed), ignoring it seems obtuse. However, the value decreases with role players and people with few minutes. I'll put it this way, if I am in an NBA game and every game my minutes show the opponent scored 40 more points than when I am out, it won't look great for my agent. Conversely, regardless of stats, if I am winning and my impact shows we go plus 40 during my 40 minutes, I'm earning my keep. It doesn't show the full picture, but it's complimentary. But I can see how you might not "comprehend that" 🤪

fyi rudy's hands are actually made of bricks

Despite sounding important, the announcer is a complete bore with fake "points" that are simply obvious chlches!

7:44 Anyone know what happened to Norris after getting banged by Joker? That looked like getting whiplashed

Just bad matchup, nuggets would have mashed mavs..

I realise that too.. the moment rudy was off..Marvs had more advantage..These espn guys dont evn know what they are talking about ..

Nothing wrong with Gobert. Dylan Brooks is the 🤡 clown in this piece.

I wonder how good Ben Wallace or Hakeem would be if they were in today's NBA. Would their defense look like Rudy's, or would they be better?

Dylon brings the aggression we missed in nba duh..... nba should never be friendly 😒

No. KAT is the real defensive issue. Trade KAT to get a worse big and a 3-and -D PG

i really dont care about Gobert, but man I feel bad for him, his face after luka cooked him. the way dallas exposed him.

No one likes Gobert, which is one reason he gets a lot of the over-rated talk his way. The Wolves are better offensively without him though

You forgot one of the reason for the hate is his massive contract and trade assets. Draymond is also the main team defense anchor on gsw but he doesn’t get nearly as much money and if he were traded i doubt the value would be as big as Rudy did. Draymond is also not a liability when switched in the playoffs and he has way more offensive capabilities than Rudy. So I understand why he hates Rudy that much

@cameronno6039

His contract is irrelevant. Draymond is a huge liability. He can't shoot. He can pass, and that's about it. Draymond on any other team would be a bench guy, and on his current team, he's an absentee guy. He does a ton of hating for someone who couldn't make the playoffs this year.

Gobert isn't a liability on D in the playoffs. That narrative was created by fools / casuals who just watched one play... and ppl who think that if you're a DPOY they you NEVER should get scored on. It's just dumb fallacious reasoning. All Advanced stats show he's elite on defense in both the regular season and the playoffs.

@lightbeforethetunnel

@myleekb He was elite then too. The reason why it was so effective to put KAT on Jokic is because Gobert was doing rim protection. Gobert's impact is strongest that way when he's a help defender at the rim, and the rest of the team funnels the ball handler into Gobert. That's what they were doing.

@lightbeforethetunnel

@myleekb It's most effective for MN to put an oversized PF (who played center for years) on Jokic up front, but then have Gobert there at the rim too. It basically makes it so Jokic has to beat TWO centers to get shots off near the rim, where he's most effective. Gobert is by far the superior defender to KAT when used this way, although KAT is probably better at perimeter D (which is where he would guard Jokic and then funnel him into Gobert near the rim)

Yes he dont deserve it the DPOY, he also dont deserve the hate. Blame the media who voted for him.

not worth his salary that's what ppl see

Draymonds comment on Rudy were borderline xenophobia I hate Rudy for his dirty plays anmd antics as well but that was just not ok

How good would butler LeBron and rudy be? 😅 just need some extra 3pt power and a good bench... dunno the numbers though.

Draymond should be on the list as well
