The Most Disrespected Player In The NBA
The most disrespected player in the NBA. #nba
Now we should have expected this, Rudy getting twirled like a ballerina and everyone making jokes
Or the fact that nearly every defender has consistently gotten cooked by Luka and Kyrie.
But that hasn’t stopped the reporters for years.
I've never seen a player with this many accolades be so universally thought of as incapable by current and former players as Rudy Gobert. In fact in a recent player poll, Rudy Gobert was voted as the most overrated player in the NBA.
Now Rudy Gobert offensively is one of the worst centers I’ve ever seen, apart from whatever the f this was. The bench reacted like it was a game winner.
And defensively in the playoffs, he has been a part of some infamous moments that even I’ve roasted him for. But when the talk is this loud even after playing good defense, I think it deserves another look cause here on this channel, we find out the truth
It's time to verify these claims or not, with stats and the things that don't get tracked and see if we've all been lied to because if so, Rudy Gobert is the most disrespected player in the NBA.
To understand how we got here, we need to answer the question, why is Rudy Gobert so hated?
He started from a 59 overall 2k rating, completely raw talent in 2013 who would win his first defensive player of the year in 2018.
In 2018, the 3 finalists were Rudy Gobert, Joel Embiid, and Anthony Davis. And if we look at steals and blocks for the 3, it looks like Anthony Davis should win, until you look at the fact that the Jazz were the best defense in NBA and the Lakers were 13th. And when you realize that Jazz become an absolute bad show without him becoming 21st because they quite literally have horrible perimeter defense and you start to appreciate it more.
But there’s stuff the stats don’t show like just how much players are unwilling to take a shot at the rim. On this possession, there’s 5 instances of players not even attempting to challenge Rudy at the rim. Yeah the team that only shot 3s and layups due to analytics didn’t wanna test their luck.
During this 3 year stretch, Rudy Gobert won defensive player of the year in 2021 over Ben Simmons and Draymond. And I’ll put up the steals and blocks comparison for the 3, but what is more important here again is impact. Rudy has the most defensive win shares, and the lowest defensive rating
Even in 2022 when the candidates are Marcus Smart, Mikal Bridges, and Gobert, he has the highest DWS, and the lowest defensive rating, but the Celtics had the best defense in the NBA and led to Marcus Smart winning the award, which is deserved.
Because when he doesn’t, it’s just a layup.
And we can actually see moments like that against the Clippers in 2021. Like if Reggie Jackson is getting by your perimeter defense this easily, I don’t know what Rudy Gobert is supposed to do.
While it’s true that a 5 out offense can diminish Rudy which I do not want to just sweep over, the Jazz perimeter defense was just not there. And it allows the 5 out offense to work if you can’t keep people in front of you. Rudy’s defense was to make up for a lot of these mistakes.
The problem here is that the Jazz had so many defensive problems that we couldn’t really see Rudy in a normal playoff environment. If your playoff defense hinges on one defender, it’s going to get exposed no matter what. And even then on the Jazz, without him their defensive rating was 123.2, with him, 119.5 so still better.
I will say in a modern NBA, Rudy’s value is not as high as it would be 15 years ago. My only issue is that it seems like there’s only one way for Rudy to be used defensively, and that is in the paint as a shot deterrent. Is that because he’s only great at one attribute and sucks at the rest or is it that teams haven’t been creative enough with him.
**It’s easy to blame Rudy because he’s unique and gets got.** But every great defender gets got, because they put themselves in situations over and over again to get crossed or dunked on. But when you look at the numbers, you look at the games, you look at the nuance, it’s clear that Rudy is quite literally a great defender, not worth the contract, **but doesn’t deserve all the disrespect he gets for what he’s achieved.**

    Basketball is a team sport. Something that KD doesn't seem to understand. No one man can cary the load of the whole team. No one. Not MJ not Lebron not Kobe. You might get super hot at one game but that's not going to continue endlessly. That MJ story Kerr told KD was the changing point for MJ. MJ had gone 60 points in a playoff game against Celtics but had he won? No. He lost over and over. Then Phil got MJ to trust the team. You are not alone out there move the ball to a man that is open to create good looks to get easier baskets. But no KD just doesn't get it. He cares more about his stats than playing with the team because he wants to be the number one.

  • @jondubb35
    @jondubb35 Před 5 hodinami

    To be fair to Gobert, it’s not like he’s getting cooked by name your favorite “modern day equivalent of Scott Hastings” bench warmer. Going off of just this year’s playoffs, he was abused in the 2nd round by 3 time MVP, Nikola Jokic, who has a better than great chance to finish his career as a top 15, and potentially even top 10 greatest player of all time. And in this Dallas series, of course he’s getting cooked by Luka on switch offs….Gobert isn’t known as a perimeter defender, he’s a center whose primary responsibility on defense, is defending the post. I’m not a Gobert fan, or a T-Wolves fan. In fact, I can’t stand the T-Wolves. They’re probably my least favorite team in any professional sport, and I think they’re one of the most overrated, and overhyped teams in the NBA. But, I do think critics are being a little unfair in their assessment of Gobert. If we were talking about 1 defensive player of the year award for Gobert, you could make the argument that maybe he’s a one hit wonder, and he overachieved for 1 season, but has been below average the majority of his career. But we’re talking 4 DPOTY awards. Once a player wins more than one individual award, whether it’s DPOTY, MVP, or All-NBA, I think you can confidently argue that the player in question is legit.
