Bro, shaw has to give it up, this is getting ridiculous, youre hating on this kid for no reason. Its like he see’s this and is jealous because he can see that wemby can become the best and most dominant big of all time. This kid is not normal.

If you know who Chael Sonnen is, he'll seem like the biggest douche until you realize he worships the Attitude Era and loves the Rock

By that logic, one can argue that Shaq was only so dominant because he was just bigger and stronger then everyone else. He was supposed to be.

@zakglove6536 If he becomes the greatest player of all time, that would make him the greatest big man of all time as well because he's big. Like I said, the reason why SHAQ is mad is because Wemby is a big man and Shaq feels like Wemby's success as a big man will overshadow his own.

[@yingghit97]

As a Spurs fan since 04' let me say this. Looking back at the previous defensive players of the year Marcus Camby, Dwight Howard, Ben Wallace, Marcus Smart, Tyson Chandler, Joakim Noah, Marc Gasol etc They didn't always lead the league in blocks and steals nor were their teams the best defensive team (but they were at least top 5-7) I think when it comes to Victor we have to look at the bigger picture, yes the team defense as a whole is one factor because great players make their teammates better. But also not just zooming in on the steals and blocks and saying this guy has more so he is better... Defense is also about rebounds how often do you let the other team get their missed shots and how often do opposing players score on you while you are marking them + how often do you foul and give them free throws. I would be happy if Wembanyama wins it but I understand if he doesn't. Best defensive player is more complicated than who gets the most steals and blocks

The NBA does not track PAPG (points against per game) or oFGM( opponents field goals made) so guards don't have enough stats to be considered for DPOY. I want to know which guards in the league can actually hold these high scoring guards that every team has in todays game.

[@YahushaisYahuahssalvation]

Wemby is by far DPOY and Luka is clearly MVP.

[@christiang5209]

About the defence the on off stats for Wemby is sick, with him it is an elite defense in SA without him the worst. So you can definately make a point. But what i also like to mention Jokic is also great on the on/off stats for years, even historical one of the best in DBPM - i know must people saying he can not defend i am more a type of guy that defense is not only blocking and stealing. If you have good positioning, you avoid action the rebound drop to your hand. Many people who are considered good defenders, arent it in my opionion because they gamble a lot yes you block some shots but you also fall for a fake. You steal a ball, but a out of position 3 times because you fail to do so ;) jokic isnt DPOY but imho he is one of the better defenders, not a liability.

[@Zepherian]

When you see Wemby just smother someone like Giannis you know. When you see the whole offense of a team want to pass the ball instead of shoot you know. Dude is just built different, and in his case it is not a metaphor, he is physically different. You could not design a better basketball player in a videogame. The only things that can stop Wemby's dominance of the NBA is Wemby's body and the team around him, everything else we have seen enough to know he is it. I think he's a multigenerational talent, although I do expect more Wemby like players to pop up in the next couple of decades as a result of the information age facilitating global recruitment of athletes, and this is true for all sports.

Do Shaq remember a guy called Tacko Fall? He is 7 feet six inches tall. He has played very shortly with Celtics and Cavaliers. Did he lead the block statistics for a season? So height is one thing. And to block shots like mad is anothing thing. It is not a "should" thing.

Tacko was a rim protector when on the court. He just didn't play much. His "per 36 minutes" stat was 5.5 blocks (2020-21 season), which was actually higher than Victor's 4.2 per 36 minutes this season.
