It’s really funny after coming to a game where AD dominated defensively with 7 blocks and 3 stls and Hachimura dunked on him.

Rui going off yesterday was so fucking random lol

Like Trevor Lane says, every great defender will get posterized at some point

What a moment!

He did this to AD too lol. Rui can get above the rim more than people think.
boyharsher-
no disrespect to JJJ, he’s a baller and deserves his DPOY. but we saw yesterday how AD is on a completely higher level than him defensively.
seems like AD will be one of the greatest defenders to never win a DPOY (Duncan never winning comes to mind).

Stay humble, its one game homies

We all know we have the best defensive player in the series. They can have that cute lil award
After AD got robbed for it in 2020, I was annoyed… till we won the chip lol

If the new CBA applies now, we have Brook or Mobley winning the DPoY. 😂

This is amazing

JJJ is a beast of a man and top3 defender in the league. But we all know big AD is the true DPOY just missed too many games

Rui loves that elbow!!
Well-well-well
I feel an AD taking this personal game coming up.

it’s a joke, but getting postered just mean you’re doing your job and it didn’t work out in your favor. most stars (lebron for example) would rather not attempt to block than risk getting postered

He deserved it. Ad didn’t play enough games. That’s why rings are important. That shows your basketball abilities.

who’s your favorite person in the crowd for this shot? I like that guy with the goatee and the shit-eating grin in the light gray shirt in middle right
but shout out to the lady with the hand by her mouth and the dude with the 😮 faces between Rui’s legs too

Why you guys salty about him winning this award? The guy is a great versatile defender, and improving (which doesn’t mean shit for Rui or AD lmao). Him being our opponent now doesn’t mean we don’t have to acknowledge this.

The man averaged 3 blocks per game lol

Hibachimura cookin!!!

They’re both fouling each other on this shot. I wonder if a foul was called here.

Dude was fouling all over the place and being protected by the refs

Lets send him home and he can have that DOPY to himself.

Ruiz’s elbow to the rim and the other elbow to the defender’s face/neck. That’s how you throw it down. Name a more iconic duo 💪
PoetGooner
Tbf, doesn’t Rui also have a picture of him dunking on AD? hahaha

I haven’t watched a lot of grizzlies game, but I saw him get away with a lot of fouls. If that’s the case all season long it certainly makes it easier to play elite defense

DPOY has to attempt defense. Only ppl who don’t/can’t play sports get excited or think it’s embarrassing when guys get dunked on.
