    When KD sobs about his mom who raised him as a poor single mother, it’s applauded. But when Rudy cries and gets emotional about the same thing, for some reason everyone makes fun of him.

      They just hate him. He's not an American Black. You see this all the time. If you ain't down with Hip Hop, if you ain't into that Thug Life, then you ain't black! He's already a half, and a foreigner, that's already room for hate from the Darker brothers.
      And he ain't got that bag, which is all that players seem to respect. That's why Kobe is so overrated, because he had the bag. Jokic has all the bag, but he is white.
      And Gobert is getting paid and awards, which is another thing that pisses off other players. They think that he doesn't deserve it, but the teams obviously think he does deserve it.

Whether it's Kyrie on offense, or Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman on defense. Why is it OK for them to only be skilled on one side of the court, but not Rudy?

I watched the games, I know people hate on Rudy, but the poor play was more on Mitchell and the rest of the team. Way to much was put on Rudy, all the while giving him zero respect.

There is a little uptick on D with Wemby defensive fg% goes from 57% to 55% but no where near the difference that Rudy made this year and has in the past despite him leading in blocks Wemby should not win DPOY over Rudy this year. I agree that Wemby can pass Rudy on D. Hell I think he can pass MJ as greatest 2way player of all time and be the goat with the biggest hurdle I see being injury. The crowns still to be earned though.

    I love AM Hoops, but respectfully he NEEDS to take more accountability sometimes. Last year around this time there was a video detailing the exact opposite from the things he says in this video. Its obviously fine to comment on a players career at different times and I also understand that he needs to play up the dramatic element of "look how ridiculous his hate is they think he's a glorified role player", but literally last year he's talking about how gobert is a 40 million dollar worse and older version of Jarret Allen, and how the T Wolves made the "Worst Trade in NBA history", and are therefore in the "Worst situation", and then now he's made the exact same video about the hawks. You can tell a lot of effort is put into these videos, but without some proper accountability and consideration of nuance and his old points the videos just feel so flip floppy, sensationalized, and lacking substance. Again I have nothing but love, just hoping to give some constructive criticism.

    As a french guy, and a wolves fan, I can't say that I have always been supportive of Rudy. First year in Minny, I was like "Yeah... no, worst trade ever". He is a great guy, you hear him talking in his interviews in french, he is so much more likeable, because there's no delay for understanding a question or finding the right word. But you can see that at times he struggles finding words in english. So people get him wrong. Then I saw him this year, I actually watched 95% of games which I did not last year, and I saw the impact, I saw the energy, the desire to be the best in his field, which is defense. Yes sometimes he makes atrocious plays, but he makes up for it ten times in D. And now, he's one of my favourite players to watch, but only because this year's wolves made defense sexy. And in thirty years, I'm sure when people look back, they will put Rudy's name amongst the best defensive players of all time.

    Cause he got the biggest salary without being an offensive threat and simply earn his money via defense. It’s clear, Jordan Poole is on the list for the contract, same with Beal. Because if you have a minimum understanding of basketball they aren’t overrated they are what they are.

    French I am. I can say that what is unfortunate is that even in France Rudy's image is not as good as it should be. He is so talented that he would transform any team into a fortress. He has a great mentality. He has a strong work ethic. He is dedicated to the national team. He is a kind and generous guy. I think your video does not present another important aspect. Rudy does not play the bad guy.

    Probably because he got all those dpoy trophies while real versatile guys like Draymond have one. Oh and zero post game and what seems like a refusal to work on one.

    Im tired of people who criticize Gobert for being overrated being labeled as haters. We can agree to disagree without insulting each other. Im a Mavs fan and watched every game in that 1st round series in 2022. The Mavs ran small ball lineups with Finney Smith and Maxi Kleber at the 5 spot and Gobert couldn’t score over them in the low post. He had trouble defending in space, and he struggled guarding Kleber when the Mavs ran 5 out offense. The Clippers did the same exact thing in the 2021 playoffs by running small ball lineups with Batum and Morris at the 5 and he got exposed on both ends. Sure he’s a good shot blocker, but theres more to defense than just blocking shots. And the NBA players didn’t vote him overrated because they fear him, they voted him overrated because they see he’s flawed and is not that good. If NBA players that play against him every night are telling you he’s overrated, you should believe them

      Gobert is not a great defender. He's a shot blocker. And other than alley oops he has zero offensive game. Amazing that he's never bothered to develop post moves.
      He's a liability outside the paint and coaches scheme to take advantage of him.

      As a Jazz fan this is true gobert can’t score I remember being suuuuper angry about that in the Jazz mavs series. That’s not what he’s saying tho he’s saying gobert is unfairly hated by the players because of other things. I do think gobert needs a post game and some humility tho
