We’re about to do that thing where we rewrite who Rudy Gobert is again, aren’t we? :lol:

How are we doing that? Simply pointing out he’s a 4 time DPOY, ALL NBA, ALL STAR Center who routinely helps his team win games? That is the reality.

Hes over-hated, man. Nothing wrong to admit that :lol. Even if you don’t like him, the talk about him being CRAZY, for a player of his caliber, accolades and success in this league.

Rudy been doing this for a decade now. That’s consistency.
 
He was outplayed by Gafford and lively but they won’t want to talk about that
1. being "outplayed" by a combination of two centers playing with the best lob thrower in the history of basketball is not exactly and insult.

2. I find the idea if you switched Lively/Gafford and Gobert the wolves would have been better off absurd.

Like watch Luka's return game vs Dallas. Did it look like Lively had any impact on Luka?
Livley is better on offense, but Gobert is still the better defender.
 
Wavster he was benched in the gold medal game

That’s why I said, “say what you want”….

He’s a part of that team and structure tho. Consummate pro. When it’s not his time, because of his limitations he’s not pouting or not being engaged. Hes stays ready. And this is an example of him getting his get back, when it was favorable for him.

I **** with that
 
There's nothing to re-write about Gobert.

He's very good defender with some limitations that make him a bit less effective in the playoffs.

it was never true that it's easy to "play him off the court"
but it is true that he's less versatile than a Draymond Green or Prime Anthony Davis

but people want to spin this narrative that he's some total fraud.

1. Who said it was a combination?
2. Fair
3. Shame on lively for not getting loose with Spencer dinwiddie and Brandon Williams running the team

You were just bragging about him being a medalist when he was benched in the run for the medal :lol:. He’s a good player with severe limitations in the playoffs. The accolades are good, sure. He won’t even be remembered as the most impactful defender of the time he played. He’s good for the 82, a liability for the 16. Nothing wrong with that, like you said. But no need to run over here after this series to try to pump him up.
 
Cannot wait for MVP MVP thoughts on the Bron lakers era :lol

Russ is still playing right now (the other LA team, ironically). How conflicted ☺️.

You might as well become a nuggets fan
