  Okay I see the comments. I know I can't say the number three properly. I've never been taught how to say it properly and am now learning that you have to place your tongue between your teeth

  Getting dunked on is basically how  you prove youre a rim defender. If youve never been dunked on you dont defend the rim. Simple.

  I agree 100% with your take about dude getting dunked on. Cant get dunked on if you aren't actively trying to contest.

  funniest shit to me is making fun of gobert getting dunked on a lot, like the only reason players don’t get dunked on regularly is because they don’t jump, they’re more concerned with being put on a highlight reel than getting a stop

  Lifelong Timberwolves fan here and I can say that most of us are happy with Rudy and actually respect him I ran into him at a target and dude paid for everyone in store. He's  also an elite defender sure I don't think he should've won all those DPOTY awards but he for sure deserved 2 the other ones are fkr sure debateable.

  He’s hated because he impacts the game being one-dimensional on the other side of the ball. Nobody respected Dwight either. Only “shut-down” defenders like Tony Allen and Jrue Holiday get respect for their defensive impact because you see it so much in the iso.<br><br>Hell, Shawn Bradley got mad disrespected for always getting dunked on even though he’d be leading in blocks all the time. It’s about aesthetics as much as it is about stats in the modern age.

  Basketball asides, Gobert just oozed “French”-ness, making him simply, detestable. Him being one of the most dominant and annoying defender while possessing limited offensive skillset just added tons of fuel to the fire. Players neither want to play with and against him, nor respect and love him. He’s just that type of one in a generation loathsome person, it’s amazing. It’s even more amazing that he has beef with the previous generational loathsome piece of ass, Green. Truly a clash of titans.

  People disrespect him &nbsp;because it’s trendy to do so, most those people can’t even think for themselves without someone giving them ideas sad really.
