TV sports analyst Kendrick Perkins is turning heads with yet another hot take. This time, the former Celtics player is getting attention for saying his 'biggest regret' was voting for Rudy Gobert for the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award.
San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama speaks to reporters last summer prior to his rookie season getting underway.. This time, the former Celtics player is getting attention for saying his"biggest regret" was voting for Rudy Gobert for the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award.The NBA's DPOY distinction is voted on by a global panel of sports journalists, and the winner is determined by a ranked vote.
"Me voting this season for Rudy Gobert is an embarrassment for me for Defensive Player of the Year," Perkins said."He's the first player that we see every single time in the postseason that becomes a defensive liability."12.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and a single steal per game during the 2024 postseason. Those numbers are meager compared to the 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and astonishing 3.6 blocks Wembanyama put up during the regular season.
"What is he doing right now? When you look at this series right now, do we realize that Rudy has three blocks in three games?" Perkins asked."He's averaging one block per game at 7-foot-3. Unacceptable."It's worth noting that DPOY is based only on regular-season performance, meaning that although Gobert has struggled during the playoffs, it doesn't really matter because the award has already been decided."No shit.
