    Love this quote:

    >“I think I’m at the stage of my career where I know who I am. My biggest competition is myself. Everyone’s journey is unique. Everyone’s story is unique. Actions speak so much louder than words. There is a saying that if you want to reach a destination, you can’t throw rocks at every dog that barks. That’s exactly where I’m at. I’m aware of what’s being said. Everyone is allowed to have opinions. But the court doesn’t lie. The numbers don’t lie. I’m going to keep focusing on being the best that I can be for my team and focus on all the great things that I’m trying to do for this world in all kind of ways.”

    >According to NBA.com’s tracking data through the 2023-24 season, Gobert ranked [first](https://archive.ph/o/lPnIQ/https://www.nba.com/stats/players/isolation?CF=POSS*G*70&PerMode=Totals&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&TypeGrouping=defensive&dir=A&sort=PPP) defensively on isolation plays among players that appeared in at least 70 possessions and [third](https://archive.ph/o/lPnIQ/https://www.nba.com/stats/players/isolation?CF=POSS*G*60&PerMode=Totals&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&TypeGrouping=defensive&dir=A&sort=PPP) among players that appeared in at least 60. According to Second Spectrum tracking data through the 2023-24 season, Gobert also [allowed the fewest points per direct isolations in switch situations](https://archive.ph/o/lPnIQ/https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40102549/timberwolves-rudy-gobert-named-defensive-player-year) among players that defended at least 175 isolation possessions.

    Good argument can be made for Anthony Davis last year but I think Rudy deserved the other 3

    Rudy Gobert is one of the greatest defensive players in history !! The fact that he won DPOY with 2 different teams prove that I’m tired of the rudy disrespect
