Rudy Gobert wins his 4th DPOY which ties an NBA record.

[TDUBB]

What a dumb trade! Can’t believe Minnesota got rid of all those picks for this guy!

 

[Apprentice]

I don't care about wolves team defensive stats, wemby got robbed

Ehh the equivalent woulda been DaRon Bland winnin DPOY, which I don’t think he deserved either

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Bam got robbed.

 

[Slow Moving]

The anthony Davis dpoy agenda got flat tire

 

[Skooby]

That seals it

Rudy Gorbert is a first ballot hall of famer

thats wild lol

Ben Wallace won it four times but he wasn't first ballot.

Got in eventually though.

I see what youre trying to say but I don't really agree

The football equivalent to me is if Aaron Donald led the league in pressures, sacks and FF but his team went 2-15

He can't control his overall team's performance but he was the clear best defender far and away

He has had better career than Ben

 

[GoldenGlove]

Bam got robbed.

DPOYs aren't on Play-In Teams

Ben Wallace:

• NBA champion (2004)
• 4× NBA All-Star (2003–2006)
• 3× All-NBA Second Team (2003, 2004, 2006)
• 2× All-NBA Third Team (2002, 2005)
• 4× NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006)
• 5× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2002–2006)
• NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2007)
• 2× NBA rebounding leader (2002, 2003)
• NBA blocks leader (2002)

Rudy Gobert:

3× NBA All-Star (2020–2022)
All-NBA Second Team (2017)
3× All-NBA Third Team (2019–2021)
4× NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2018, 2019, 2021, 2024)
6× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2017–2022)
NBA blocks leader (2017)
NBA rebounding leader (2022)

Ben Wallace has the slight edge. Clearly Gobert is a much better scorer. And Gobert has more time to add to his resume. But Ben Wallace has the edge defensively to me. Wallace averaged more than three blocks a game three times. Gobert hasn't done that once.

im Going with Rudy. that has to matter when splitting hairs. Rudy is serviceabl. also playing in this era should be commendable. U have to be a beast. I don’t think Ben would be as good in todays game dude would be unplayable way More times than Rudy
