Gilbert Arenas of the Gil’s Arena podcast exploded over Rudy Gobert and his defensive play in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Rudy should give back his 4 Defensive Player of the Year trophies if this is how he is going to play defense. The NBA shouldn’t be giving him awards for being a help-side defender. He needs to make more of an impact for the Minnesota Timberwolves if they want to win Game 2 over the Dallas Mavericks at home and advance to an NBA Finals.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Rodman was just a fuckin DAWG 🤷🏾♂️
Facts spoken
Guarding on offence is crazy 😂
Them trophies looking funny in the light😅😅
He's the second most overrated player in the league. Tobias Harris has a firm grasp on the #1 spot.
OG Anunoby is a far better defender.
All in!!!!
Wat Episode Is This
Maybe you should give back all that superstar money you made because you of all people shouldn’t be saying anything
I've been saying this, gteat defenders are not shot blockers. Defense is disturbing offense and stopping it. Caruso is one example.
Gobert is the most overrated defender of all time.
This is a stupid take because Rudy doesnt vote for himself. The media gave him all of those awards. Gils energy should be towards those who keep voting for him
Should’ve went to AD.
Nothing but facts sorry
It’s hard for Rudy to guard anybody in the league cause there’s only 3 real centers in the league and he’s one of them without the skill set of Joel and Joker. Like you asking something from someone who literally has to play against everyone and chase them. Nobody plays with their back to the basket no more. Him winning the DPOY is no gimmick it’s a regular season around. Rebounds and blocks not points. So unfortunately in the playoffs it gets looked as if he didn’t deserve it. Like honestly what do you want him to do.
The ONE TIME I agree with Gils, finally a good take.
its so funny that this loser is criticising other real players
I actually agree I feel like DPOY has watered down a bit compared to just a few years ago even
AND IM SURE " YOU" , MISTER ARENAS ARE A HUGE EXPERT IN DEFENSE!! AREN'T YOU???🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This like the best take Gil ever had
Dennis was mugging Karl Malone😅
Everyone missing the important thing: it's a regular season award. Always has been. Play-off struggles literally have nothing to do with it.
So if we’re talking about old school players, modern players should be able to punch, clothesline and otherwise use non nba moves to defend guys right?
PREACH!!!!
Hard to compare anyone to Rodman, even Mutumbo was a defense juggernaut but he couldn’t do what Rodman did
I was saying this back when people were calling Draymond Green a "Hater" for his veiws on Rudy….
Dude is not really a "Great" defender….
He's a rim protector (a very good one)…
But defensive player of the year means that NOBODY WANTS YOU TO GUARD THEM💯
I agree
