00:00 Let's talk a little bit about NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
00:05 And do you think it should be Victor Wembenyama?
00:08 >> Wow, he's such a unique player and this is a unique problem.
00:13 >> Yeah.
00:13 >> Because Wemby leads the league in blocks.
00:19 He's a factor, I watched him play the Mavericks the other night.
00:23 Luca went like 5 of 25 and Wemby was blocking Luca's step back three pointers.
00:29 >> Crazy. >> Which nobody can block that.
00:31 >> Nobody does that.
00:32 >> Nobody tries.
00:33 >> Right.
00:33 >> He's shooting a 30 footer, Wemby's out there getting his fingertips on it.
00:36 He just messes with everybody.
00:38 >> Kyrie Irving says he should be a defensive player.
00:40 >> Kyrie Irving says he's got the- >> I've been watching that.
00:41 >> Right.
00:42 I mean, but here's the rub of, and again, the conundrum that is Wemby.
00:49 >> Yeah.
00:50 >> No rookie has ever won NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
00:53 No player from a horrible defensive team, which the Spurs are, and
00:59 they're a horrible team record wise.
01:02 They're 23rd defensively.
01:04 How's the best player in the league defensively on the team that's 23rd?
01:08 >> Yeah.
01:09 >> So if you watch the games, he affects, I mean, Rudy Gobert is the other co-favorite.
01:15 The Timberwolves are having a great year, he's the best player, he's won it before.
01:19 That's the safe choice.
01:21 But I think if you really ask like Kyrie and other players, who do you not wanna face?
01:26 >> Yeah.
01:27 >> In one game, that'd be like Wemby, he blocks everything.
01:29 So I think that means he gets it.
01:30 >> Yeah, that's fun for the league and for the game.
01:32 >> Yeah.
