there are few things in the NBA more beautiful than a man mountain backing his ass up for an in-yo-face slam, Shaq style.

[–] BallsAreFullOfPiss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Classic basketball, honestly. Just as pleasing to watch, as seeing someone jack up a three and hit nothing but net.

paging Cam’ron

[–] _checkpickerupper@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Context: JJJ already picked up a foul and is one of two actual players on the grizzlies that can score. So…couldn’t take a chance on foul 2 two minutes into the game

JJJ in early foul trouble? A tale as old as time wow

[–] lonny__breaux@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean I don’t want to pile on to the Grizzlies but the DPOY should be able to guard a Rudy Gobert post up without fouling?

[–] OrganizationFar6086@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s pretty good at picking up fouls

[–] dys0n_giddey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's my DPOY

[–] SkipsPittsnogle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just look at that DPOY!!

[–] cl353@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's the Richard Sherman of the nba

[–] le_sweden@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sherman contributed to a ring

[–] Lonzofanboy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

seems like every DPOY candidate hate JJJ now. JJJ has to be prepared when facing Draymond next time.

[–] GriffinQ@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the incoming triple single or for the potential rear naked choke?

Lots of things to be prepared for with Draymond these days.

[–] writerwriter_27@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You forgot the inevitable nut shot

[–] lurkperson1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dread it, run from it, Draymond's foot arrives in your balls all the same

[–] blackjacktrial@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hey hey hey. He's worked hard to move his foot up the human body. Not sure if it's at chest stomping height or fully inside the open breathing mouth yet...

[–] Kramerica5A@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is it just me, or does it feel like Dray's gonna go after Rudy the next time we play too? He obviously hasn't learned any lessons, so if anything I can see him being like, "fuck it, if I'm getting suspended anyway (his victim complex talking here) I might as well make it worth it"

[–] gochuuuu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Brah how do you let gobert do this to you

[–] somedudeinlosangeles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mr. Chris Vernon just threw his remote.

[–] MVPG2022@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nice highlight featuring the DPOY and Jaren Jackson

[–] Troll-e-poll-e-o-lee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

JJJ gotta be one of the most overrated players. Glad he’s being exposed for this

[–] Benredbr1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

his phony ass been exposed since the world cup

[–] HeHateMex2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rudy Gobert heard saying “Nah, I’d win”

Man sweating in front of two buttons meme

"Baguette Biyombo" vs "JJJ Truther"

[–] Rswany@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A DPOY, too.

...And JJJ

[–] raki016@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

How.

Gilbert doesn't even back down well

[–] Zoulzopan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am wondering that too.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's a mismatch of the switch. Gobert's got the size advantage, so he went to town

[–] karmadontcare44@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He will outsize nearly everyone 1v1 when he’s on an island like this. He can backdown fine.

His issue is holding onto the ball and making the right decisions when the D collapses.

This your DPOY?

[–] rudebwoy100@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Grown man move.

[–] BodegaDaddy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

dpoy just got cooked in the post by a player that never posts up

[–] unclehelpful@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rudy, a noted not very good offensive player, active sought out the current DPOY and backed him down and dunked on him?

Did anyone see any aliens at the FIBA World Cup? JJJ might have had his bball skills stolen by them.

There’s been 2 times it has happened before.

[–] mrblack07@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nah, the aliens already stole them before the World Cup even started.

[–] doublea6@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a jazz fan this happens like 1 out of 50 attempts when gobert gets the ball in the post.

[–] bunnypoker24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

defensive player my ass, brook lopez should of won it and it wasnt even close

[–] tpw2k3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This Minnesota team is fun to watch

[–] RevolutionaryKiwi897@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

More of that please

[–] baoparty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] drmbrthr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Shaq used to do that exact move like 8x per game

[–] AsizzlesU777@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m happy for Rudy and the Wolves fan base

[–] sharklavapit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] lame_user_0824@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People mad at JJJ for not being a 5 is pretty unfair. Hes only 6'10 and not everyone can be AD. He's playing out of position

[–] McGinnis_921@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There’s no way stop a highly skilled offensive player. You can only hope to contain him.

[–] EmergencyNail3862@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

JJJ the fakest DPOY ever

[–] genericusernamepls@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Rudy special. Sometimes he looks like a beast out there, other times he looks like a baby giraffe

[–] sonics_fan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Grizz scorekeeper credited JJJ with a block and a steal on this play.

[–] mrblack07@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, you gotta hand off that DPOY trophy if Rudy Gobert of all people seeks you out and bullies you in the post.
