Gobert leads the new defensive player ladder

It is true but I would love Rudy for one game just say @#^%$$@ I am going to try and block as many shots as possible. The problem is that once Rudy blocks two or three shots guys start passing it out. Perhaps they should start counting the times a player drives to basket and then stops and throws out ball due to Rudy being there. Sometimes it is a ridiculous amount of times. I watched one game where it was like 8 or 9 times. I just shook my head with amazement.

That was exactly my point. He does not get challenged as much so his opportunities are lower. Also, as pointed out, he doesn't chase blocks, unless it is a natural rotation for him. He is such a presence that they just pass it out or dribble through, or through up some ridiculous high-arching shot with no chance of going in to avoid him. He changes more shots than anyone else, by far.

We have seen near those numbers on a single possession. At least 2, as many as 5, on a single possession, and this is pretty common.

This is clown ****. It's Rudy and it isn't even close. Nobody impacts the opposing team's execution more. Do any of those dudes cause players to straight up just pass out or TURN AROUND when faced with the prospect of being guarded by them?

Also, I want to give up on my hate for the Sixers and their players but Jesus Christ, Simmons is such an insufferable, arrogant **** head. I feel sorry for their fans for having to cheer for them.

It's hilarious Simmons said Jazz are disrespecting him by putting Gobert on him
It's should be the other way around fool
You should be honored Jazz are putting best defender in world on you fool :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
That AD is fourth on the list tells how much LA buzz were hurt by Giannis taking the MVP and DPOY off their stars and desperate to hand him the award regardless of whatever he'd do on the regular season - it's just that he's been so subpar that they even couldn't place him any higher than that

AD is one of the most overrated players. He won 1 playoff game in his career before getting traded to LA so Lebron could carry him along. I have no idea how he's been 1st team all nba when Jokic, Embiid, and Gobert are all better than him as centers and Lebron, Durant, Giannis, and Kawhi Leonard are all better as forwards
