We can just use simple math.... Jokic have a shooting averages of 55%. If you are DPOY... And a 4x DPOY at that, you should be able to hold Jokic to below 55% shooting average. Sure Jokic might get his 40 pts... But the goal is to make it less efficient for him to do that. Golbert held Jokic to 88% shooting averages. Sure it was only 9 shots total, and Jokic passed the ball a lot, but Jokic also had 0 turnovers and 13 assists. So Rudy allowed Jokic to shoot stupidly high %, and didn't force him to make any turnovers. This is why Rudy isn't deserving of the DPOY this year. Because how much of it was Rudy and how much of it was the wolves? The rest of the wolves held Jokic to a lower % shooting...

@@richgang37 he cooked him. it was literally apart of their strategy to get kobe upset shaq was scoring all the points. they purposely played one on one knowing shaq would get his and kobe would get jealous and start chucking shots which is exactly what happened

[@afallenworld1581]

​@@standardyeepzWhat nonsense are you writing. The game they won was the one that Kobe actually went all out.

[@donaldf9055]

​@@afallenworld1581 Kobe was ass that series...😑😑😑

[@standardyeepz]

@@afallenworld1581 and the other 4 games?

[@TylerJovan]

Wemby deserved that DPOY lol that’s all I know. Rudy is just a tall mf who blocks shots. Which is crazy because Wemby had more blocks AND steals than Rudy. AD, Giannis, and Wemby are better defenders than him.

[@TylerJovan]

What does Rudy do better than any of them??

@@TylerJovan nothing they probably paid from some people to talk good about gobert

Buson will get tired in game seven vs Pacers might be in over time in game six when when buson will get tied in Boston in third round playoff dudes

Draymond is underrated

Ticket is right….. especially when talking to swipa.

[@ezetram774]

3 time mvp is going to cook anyone 😂

[@mordecai4348]

Reid and jat garding Jokic better only because Gobert is their back up

[@IsomSeales]

Gobert is a liability on offense! he clogs the paint up and cuts off driving lanes for his own team lol.. he can’t back anyone down.. he barely gets lobs thrown his way.. doesn’t offensive rebound enough to even make a difference… On defense he’s overrated! he gets attacked constantly.. never seen Mutumbo get attacked like that

[@Ihatexken]

Can’t no DPOY ever guard Jokic

[@aaotrey106]

Old Dwight clamped him in 2020 he not abusing prime Howard

[@someguy9981]

Gobert defenders/stans are weird 😂 😂. Dude is traaaaaash. Make him take paternity leave

[@yungkingnaruto]

I wish I could be as nonchalant as mars bro really don’t give a fuk what they talking about

[@MKL3165]

If people played in the nba they would realize. THEY ARE HUMAN 😂. They get tired and if they face something better than them. They will fall, its like Michael Jordan. U put him against the best defender they might get a couple of victories. But mike will end up making them looking like they never should have been awarded. It how the game goes.
