Rudy Gobert wins Defensive POY with Timberwolves: 'I think I've found a home'

[@ksecpt]

Incredible. The defensive culture, friendship, the intensity and technical skills that has grown with Rudy's leadership. All-time great defense, and it's spectacular to watch.

[@rosssivertson6339]

You've found a home Rudy. We love you here and you've been a big part of what we have going right now.

[@kolurose2062]

Minnesota native here!!! Yes agreed!! welcome home Rudy 💙💚🐺

[@philipdupont3602]

I truly believe that Rudy's defensive culture has been a main factor in everyone playing shut-down defense.

[@SSSC_300c]

big facts.

[@CorePathway]

The T-wolves have the fukkin Terminator holding them accountable.

[@yoe91]

uhm well... yeah.

[@milespaw]

Getting rid of Dlo for Mike Conley Jr. was the difference maker!

[@stevenswayze]

I think this every day

[@mmaranan]

And they threw in NAW for free with this trade! Lucky us!

[@youngflow320]

Rudy was a difference maker as well don’t gotta throw shade

[@drdoom246]

D'Lo was an absolute cancer. All he did was berate Rudy in his first season with the team. Bringing in Conley and getting rid of D'Lo was the key to unlocking Rudy's success.

[@spencerj4677]

DLO is a cancer to a team.

[@billhicks808]

Hell yeah Rudy!!! Congratulations!!!

[@9InchHandle]

In a group of legends. Glad to have him on the team.

[@dugsoif]

Way to go Rudy!!!!!!! You earned it man!

[@tylerhatch8962]

Love to see it Rudy, Utah still loves you

[@threeflip2244]

Well deserved Rudy! Now lets win a championship! Go Wolves!

[@jpm4230]

Congrats go out to Rudy for this award (the baby too). Well deserved! Go Wolves! 🏀👏👏🐺

[@dayondavis8546]

Congratulations 🎊 👏 Rudy! You brought a different culture to the Minnesota Timberwolves along with KAT and Edwards! Can't forget the whole staff from ownership down to the towel people. We appreciate your effort and wholeheartedness. 🏀💯

[@nigelminatabushtybushty2335]

Man its weird seeing a big man squad turn up like this definitely something special

[@savage7639]

we love you too Rudy go Wolves 🐺

[@belindsbowstring6907]

Hearing this makes me feel like they’re going to win it all 😭 Love the team chemistry! You can tell they all play for each other 💙 Go Wolves!

[@MartyHarris-iu8pj]

BRAVO!! THANK YOU, RUDY.

[@dugsoif]

Do you all know how much this boosts Rudy's morale? Heck his head is through the clouds. He's definitely unstoppable now. Go Rudy! Go Rudy bro!

[@khavyvath22]

As a casual fan I had no idea Rudy sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@idiots30]

More like Andre the Giant.

[@AdamBazille]

​@idiots30 yes! 😂😂

[@khavyvath22]

@@idiots30 hahaha

[@Rothydot]

Jaden McDaniels next!

[@HamSamuel-ov4jk]

And then NAW.

[@chouavue9056]

I like too think but probably impossible with Wemba in the league now.

[@TallNorske]

Love that he’s on the team

[@anonymousFBninja]

From one legend to another, congratulations Rudy!

[@buddhavaro]

Congratulations RUDY GOBERT! YOU ARE THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER EVER!

[@chrisxavier1848]

When your team can get it done while you;re away, you're doing things right. Wolves in 4!

Go rudy well deserved🎉

[@Stackitupmetal]

Congrats from Denver

[@Nathan-qz3mg]

Keep him Minnesota Class act pay the man

[@Liquidsunn87]

I remember when people said this was the worst free agent signing ever. Oh, how the times have changed. This team can win a championship this year because they are playing like it. Happy for him.

[@cnelson6291]

And by free agent signing you mean trade

[@lordbandi9804]

This was a trade and yes, the Wolves gave up a lot to get him (4 first round picks and several players) and he was a polarizing player when the deal was made.

[@TexturedFlow]

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

[@igoswimmingalot]

You found a home big guy 😭

[@shanemathre]

Please just dont letup. And beat denver on friday.

[@JuanRodriguez-fb7me]

RUDY te felicito 👏 👍 desde República Dominicana te estamos apoyando 💪 👏 tú eres la verdadera diferencia que necesitaba Minnesota gracias a Dios que tú llegaste a nuestro equipo nosotros los fanáticos de Minnesota hemos sufrido mucho pero gracias a Dios llegó la hora de ganar un campeonato si Dios quiere 🎉🎉😂😂😅😅

[@mrlee9213]

I truely believe the Timberwolves are the new dynasty ready for a 3pt 💙🤍🏆🔥

[@Devin9331_]

Y'all got this, Win the chip.

[@asawhitemanidjustliketosay]

It’s surreal what’s happening in Minnesota. I’m not saying they’re as good as the 90’s bulls, just saying they have the same formula

[@CyrusJones-on3uv]

"Forces Alot of neverminds" 😂 Rudy's new nickname is - NeverMind

[@batboibob4910]

Congrats Rudy! Best pack the wolves have ever had 🐺

[@cattsunn]

With all the family KAT has lost to covid, if he can forgive and embrace Rudy then other's should follow. People can get better they can grow and change.

[@isthatyoursomnomnom]

Viva La DPOY 🇫🇷

[@nolimit2477]

Love Rudy 👍🤘☝️✊️💪🙏🍾 so happy he's on our team

[@greekosdarkness]

Remember when all of the news outlets and nba fans were scolding and laughing at the timberwolves for trading for rudy? Seems to me it worked out lol.

[@muyuanbo9944]

Nice 🎉

[@whirlysquirrely3368]

RUDY!

[@ajroc1393]

Where was Ant???

[@Cory_P]

Now all you have to do is get more guys like Luka in when you have a 30 point lead. Rudy needed 34 minutes a game this season, and had some injuries. Karl was out, and Reid for a brief time, so playing the long game and getting more out of the team rather than a few is important.

[@Blortoblorto]

Guess you haven’t caught the last couple games?

[@almoen5412]

"WELCOME HOME RUDY "

[@theisnoplanet]

Rudy i exspect 10 blocks in game 3!

Bro..T.J. Warren been an outcast in this team 🤣🤣

Ain’t comes running in late 😂..

[@waymanquinn3084]

Don’t get ahead of yourself. T. Wolves stay lock in. You have not won any thing. Denver will not lay down. Friday get ready for war. The official may lost the whistle. Rebounds wins championship.

[@CorePathway]

Can’t decide whether I want to call him goober or gogurt 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@xerxesmontes9828]

Rudy wasn't even playing in Game 2. Imagine if he is on the floor. Denver needs to be so much better to beat this wolves team.

[@jaymeal-alawait5975]

KG won DPOTY

[@namprovost7555]

Garnett won it as a Celtic, not with the T’Wolves.

[@jasonholloway4162]

They could have gave the BEST defender at least co-defensive player of the year! What a joke you voters are!

[@LavarBull]

Bro was the original Covid truther 😂😂

[@davidhuggan5597]

Where is Ant? He's the only starter that didn't show up?

[@ryans4050]

Look at the very end, off to the right, on the stairs. Ant is a great teammate, no worries there.

[@conspirasteve]

I think he showed up late. KAT seemed like he was chuckling when Ant showed up at the very end.
