Gobert locks down Doncic: Best Twitter Reactions

What’s wild is that I remember online Ben Wallace was considered really underrated in like his 5-7th years (before the Detroit championship) and everyone talked about and appreciated him so much that it was hard to say he was underrated and he’s almost universally lauded now and I don’t think I’ve ever once seen a “Ben Wallace is overrated” or “Ben Wallace isn’t good” take. The crazy thing is that even looking at raw stats comparing the two, and especially if it’s be was blinded to which player was which, people would unanimously choose Gobert. And that’s not even counting his advanced offensive stats. Everyone knows that Ben Wallace has no offense (no offense, not just limited offense), but nobody mentions that because of what he brought on the defensive end. Even if the eyeball test tells you Gobert is limited, there’s strong argument to make there on his important offensive presence.

A whole bunch of this is about ego and pride. Shaq and now Draymond have trashed on Rudy and even when it becomes obvious they are wrong, the double down because their pride prevents them from admitting they were wrong.

Yeah, agreed, but it seems like there’s something more as well, I mean he’s not really part of the club is he? Rudy’s this cosmopolitan dude from Europe, I mean I doubt he even likes rap music. And let’s not rule out the jealousy factor either, bet Rudy’s a total stud muffin to the ladies. And of course he keeps gobbling up those DPOYs which has to chap Draymond’s cheeks a bit.

I watched the game in a local casino last night and people were actually clapping and shouting Gobert down the stretch. And this in Las Vegas where the Lakers/Cippers game was front and center and the Suns were getting stomped. Not sure but I think Gobert would take Draymond in a popularity contest right now.

Putin might edge Green everywhere outside of San Fran.

If we finish strong and Rudy stays healthy, he should have a decent shot at winning DPOY again.

Frankly the only thing stopping Rudy from winning it 2 or 3 more times is the media and everyone else getting bored of him winning it. He's already been robbed twice. He should have 5 right now. There will be a good old boys push to make sure Rudy doesn't get the most in history because he's not the popular choice. But the stats and the results will show Rudy is one of if not the best defender the league has ever seen.
