San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama’s Savage Rudy Gobert Jab Resurfaces After Defensive Player of the Year Announcement

Earlier this season, Wembanyama was asked about his thoughts on Gobert potentially winning the DPOY crown again. The Spurs youngster delivered a savage take on what the future holds for both him and Gobert:

You have to note, though, that there’s a lot of mutual respect between these two big men. After all, both men hail from France, and I’m pretty sure that Gobert has reached out to Wemby multiple times to try and do whatever he can to ease the latter’s transition in the NBA.

Be that as it may, both players are also two of the most competitive studs you’ll ever face, so you can be sure that all the pleasantries are set aside whenever they battle on the court.

For what it’s worth, Wemby came in second in the final vote tally, but as it turns out, Gobert was the runaway winner:

As Wemby said, Gobert should enjoy his fourth DPOY win now. He should bask in its glory because there’s no denying that he deserves the recognition.

Time is running out for the Timberwolves center, though, because Wembanyama is set to change the course of the NBA in the not-so-distant future.
