Gobert was named to the All-NBA 2nd team and is now a top-3 finalist for Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player. What a year he has had and he's only going to get better.

Can't wait to see what he does next year, and hope Hayward is on board for the ride

 

[elan_prodigy]

My guess is he comes in 2nd in both.

What a badass

It's too bad he'll get neither. He's gonna get screwed out of DPOY. And even worse I don't see him ever winning DPOY. Draymond and Kawhi aren't going anywhere and will always get more publicity and attention.

Note that Shaq thinks Utah would've beaten GSW had Gobert not got hurt.

Nah, he will get it. Just not this year.

Lol, thanks Shaq but can I have some of what you're smoking?

And some people want to trade him if we lose Hayward.

Some people's kids...

Did they not give out the awards during the first round or soon after in previous years? Or did they stop that the year Dirk got MVP and then lost to the Warriors?

I'm gonna say Gobert loses the DPOY but wins the MIP. That sounds about right... right? lol

I think he gets 3rd in MIP and gets 1st in DPOY. Although 2nd in dpoy wouldn't surprise me. Anything outside of that would be surprising to me.

 

[enchilada_style]

I hope these losers give us our damn DPOY award.

Mmm. Giannis.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think Gobert is more improved than Giannis, but MIP is basically a pure statistical award. They give it to whoever scored more points than last year.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I think he ends up 2nd in DPOY to Draymond and 2nd in MIP to Giannis. If he actually wins one of them I will be ****ing ecstatic.

Agreed. And I have no problem with that

If only he was in a better market...
