How is he even better than AD defensively? Jamal Murray game winner was a Hail Mary shot compared to Luka’s which was simply a bad read from his defender, Gobert.
Looked like bbq chicken and couldn’t even move his feet how does he win DPOY over AD

Rudy got no chance on an island lol…I don’t think the cooking he gonna get is fair…

I get that he’s a generational rim protector but in this era of the NBA you can’t be the best defensive player if you get hunted by opposing players, AD, Bam, Wemby, Draymond, none of them would get hunted like that

Anthony Davis makes less per year than Gobert btw

He’s not better than AD defensively as a whole, but come on now. Murray knocked down a buzzer beater against AD this postseason. Goldfish memory or what?
Great players make difficult shots. Hello? Bean? Are Laker fans mentally deficient or what?

Luka should yelled “You a fake DOPY!” at him

Ant is why the Wolves win games, Gobert is why they lose

Lol honestly it wasn’t terrible defense, it’s just Luka doing Luka things. Luka probably cooks every big off a switch aside from Bam (best switchable big in the league currently)
AD is definitely the better overall defender than Gobert though. Been like that for a min
Wise_Ad_112
So slow footed

Wolves take out the best shot to beat the fucking Cs in the last round and now they’re gonna shit the bed.

Wolves coaching staff smoking crack to let Gobert defend the switch lol. He’s been notorious for being bad defending the switch especially vs Guards. Also this dude is the ONLY DPOY who keeps on getting exploited defensively with how slow his footwork is.

We don’t wanna hear Rudy say DPOY no more
LakerDoc
While AD is obviously better player, let’s not pretend like there hasn’t been game winners over AD…sometimes it’s just better offense by a highly skilled player like Luka or Murray

Nigga looked like Scooby Doo when he runs into the culprit

This is going to be a fantastic DPOY clip for years to come. Fucking garage.

I don’t wanna be that guy but didn’t Murray do this to AD a few weeks ago too? It happens.

I mean, Ant didn’t look any better on Jamal Murray when he hit his and Luka has about a 6-7 inch height difference on Murray.

He’s 7’1 with a 7’9″ wingspan and a 9’7″ standing reach. He can literally protect the rim better than most players just by standing still with his hands up.
But let’s be real. Wemby and his 8 foot wingspan is already a better rim protector and shot alterer than both Gobert and AD.

Has anyone ever tried hunting AD on defense?
guacdoc24
Also he got pulled on a defensive posession. So fucken wild how bad he is

Luka had brother man doing the Cha Cha slide.

KAT would have defended that better just like how KAT was the better defender on Jokic. Gobert exposed.
KazOmnipotent
You talk to r/nba and there’s this insane protect Rudy narrative like he’s a make a wish kid. AD, Bam, JJJ > Rudy.
Hell, you’ve even got guys like Rondo and Shane battier criticizing his DPOY awards. Both those guys are wrong tho, and know less than us abt basketball.
bambiface
How can someone be DPOY and also be targeted on defense?

Narratives are insane.
Kevon Looney could’ve blocked that shot

In a very similar situation, AD shut down Steph Curry twice on the same possession in Game 4 of last year’s playoff series.
DPOY out there looking like a newborn giraffe switched onto Luka
Go Mavs! beat the Celtics!
