Rudy the Beast

This won’t be popular around here, but I think it’s fair to call Draymond the Dpoy up to this point.

I'm curious why you think this? Have you watched him play?

I honestly haven't. I just looked up his DRTG and it's the exact same as the team's DRTG. This plays in to the narrative I have in my head that the GSW defense isn't about Draymond, but about the whole team stepping up and playing great defense.

According to On/Off the GSW defense is actually better without Green on the court.

I’ve watched 5 or 6 games. The defense just communicates and calls audibles so well, and Green’s influence is all over that. They have 3 or 4 styles they can throw at you, and they can alter things on-the-fly. It pretty beautiful. And historically great so far.

Since we’re back to the Nationality references like Stifle Tower how about………THE FRENCH STICKLER?????
All kinds of richly ribald metaphorical inferences especially when you say it fast, I mean shock value alone.

You say Jabbar, I'm retreating, but Wilt was competing against unathletic 6'5"s before Jabbar came along. And then it was kinda all about Jabbar and Wilt became a sideshow shooting underhand free throws from the top of the key.

I mean unless it's about scoring groupies. No argument there, undisputed king!

Do research. Wilt competed against a ton of big men in his day. And oh yeah, there were no rules to keep them from all crowding the paint to keep him from dominating which he still did anyway.

The NBA constantly changed the rules to stop Wilt from dominating, but he just kept dominating. The guy was 7'1" and ran the hurdles and did the high jump at Kansas. He's an athletic freak unlike any player we have ever seen.

Please stop telling people Rudy is even near this level.

Just did some research. Watched some highlight videos. Saw lots of undersized white dudes guarding a gargantuan black dude.

Average height of centers in the 60s about 6'9" or so. In the 70s 6'10". Now? 6'10" or 6'11". You don't get those averages with only 2 or 3 tall guys. But there were also players at 6'9" who were very dominant defensively, such as Bill Russell. The truth is somewhere in between. Wilt didn't face at many 7-footers as he would today, but all of his opponents weren't 6'3" either.
