Also, LOL at Lebron being on here.


Lebron's been awesome on defense since AD came to the Lakers. Not awesome enough to be in the conversation of the best player in the league, but he has been very good.

Allen is already better than a lot of names on this list.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

It's not the same thing and you know it. There's nothing to interpret here, what you see is fact in basketball. I remember a few seasons ago Chris Paul danced on Gobert and then blew by him for a layup. His DPOY case ended there for me. Every season I see him have a defensive play where he gets destroyed. You can't be considered the best defender if you make mistakes or get beat.

"Rudy Gobert Anchors one of the best defensive teams\best team to date this season and is a huge reason why their scheme works and how they can be such a good defensive team without multiple great defenders in the team"

"yeah but years ago one of the greatest point guards beat him on the perimeter, Facts dont care about your feelings 8-) "


It’s is interesting from a clippers fan perspective how the Jazz were wiped out 3-1 as well and Rudy still kept his reputation. Even this season there is a strong chance if the right small ball roster gets the 8th seed he might get played off the floor again.

Have to see but in general best defensive player in itself hasn’t panned out well for the team concept besides AD

Not a chance hell is Ben Simmons better than Giannis defensively.
