Just hand over the DPOY you cowards.

That may be the worst 3-on-1 I have ever seen

This play so perfectly encapsulates the DPOY dilemma for voters. Here we have a 3 on 1, which for pretty much any NBA players is an automatic layup. But they see Wemby, and they just have no idea what to do. They just look around, pass it back and forth, scared to death. Finally they decide to pass it to the guy with the corner three shot — not the best outcome, but a wide-open corner three is still pretty valuable. Except it’s not wide open because somehow Wemby has run out there and is about to block even that shot. Realizing this, the guy pump fakes and dribbles past Wemby. So much time has gone by that finally Memu and Champagnie are back from smoking a joint or whatever, but they are still in a haze so the Grizzlies end up with the automatic layup anyway. (BTW, I like Memu and Champagnie, I’m just kidding about the joint!) So Wemby is incredible but they get the layup — what do you do with a DPOY candidate like that?

Maybe I’m off saying this, but I can’t imagine Rudy garnering this particular level of hesitancy and reluctance in this exact situation, if you switched Wemby out with him.

Every time I see something like this I literally say out loud ‘jesus’. Like how did we get this lucky. Draymond has a video out there where he defends a 3 on 1, but he’s definitely not striking the same fear, definitely not running a guy off the 3 point line (after fucking waiting for 2 dudes under the basket); this shit is so crazy. I even catch my own brain being like ‘well yeah of course he did this’ but this is not normal stuff. I hope to God we get 15 years of being so beat down with this that it becomes laissez-faire; like Duncan just being there for 20-10 and anchoring a championship defense like it’s death and taxes.

I’d say they screwed the opportunity with their selfishness too. The standard play here is for one of them to drive into Wemby’s body, seal him and dump it to the trailer. But that would mean whoever drives doesn’t score.
Instead they’re stuck playing hot potato trying to make each other be the facilitator. God I hate ugly basketball.

Not going to lie, I was getting second hand anxiety for them. Wemby looks intimidating as hell by the basket
