Gobert #5 you’re fucking kidding me

Sure he’s unreal in the paint but someone who gets torched on the perimeter in switches so fucking bad shouldn’t ever be too 25 defender of all time…. So much recency bias. Even D12 was clearly a better defender over the course of his career

Sorry saf but u no

Look up the insane athletic things that Wilt Chamberlain was capable of doing. 7'1 track star that could run 100 yards in under 11 seconds, jump half the court from a standing position in 3 jumps, lifted 50 more pounds than shaq ever could at 59 years old (lifted with arnold in his prime), etc. etc. Burn your list. Wilt would take a dump on Goberts face.

Saying why doesn’t Gobert get dragged out of the paint to defend perimeter shooters is like asking why doesn’t Curry defend the rim
