Kevin Garnett, the legendary former player, spoke about the Defensive Player of the Year award, stating that it should not have been won by Rudy Gobert.
Another exciting NBA season is slowly coming to an end, but as always, there are topics that many disagree on. One of these is the Defensive Player of the Year award. Many believe that the award should not have gone to Rudy Gobert, and Kevin Garnett is one of them.
“Victor Wembanyama should’ve won a defensive player of the year. I’m just saying. Lord, listen. The league do too much. Oh, he was a rookie. Man, f**k that. If you prove that you can do the job, then you get the job, right? Man, he should’ve did the, and we ain’t seen that type of effect on the defensive end since who, P? Who’s affected? Man, David Robinson, Dikembe, Dream, who got the rim like that, bro he earned that no disrespect to any other person in the league.
This is my opinion I thought he did enough and he showed enough consistently to win that award. Regardless of your f**king status or where you at and in your what year you in Man, if I was Wemby, I’d come back and block five shots next year, n***a. Y’all got me f**ked up. Changed this award to the Wemby Award.”
Wembanyama was averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and 3.6 blocks while shooting 46.5% from the floor and 32.5% from 3-point range for the San Antonio Spurs.
