The Defender of the Year trophy has definitely been a sensitive subject on social networks for several weeks.

And Rudy Gobert quickly suffered mockery after his poster suffered against the Nuggets.

In one of the shocks of the Western Conference, the Wolves unfortunately lost against the Nuggets this Wednesday evening.

Victory 116-107 for Nikola Jokic and his partners, the Serbian finishing with 41 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 interceptions.

A mammoth game and a Minnesota defense incapable of stopping it… and they are not the only ones.

But it is another player who has generated buzz on social networks.

Christian Braun signed an impressive poster in this part, and Rudy Gobert is the victim.

The sequence is all the more important as it allows Denver to take a 12-point lead with 3 minutes remaining.

This is why the players and fans were so happy.

As you can imagine, the mockery quickly erupted on social networks.

Already because the Wolves lost an important match for first place, but also because Braun crossed Victor Wembanyama previously in the circle.

Except that the back refused the dunk in front of Wemby’s size, sparking some comparisons.

These kinds of matchups make me wonder how you can put Gobert ahead of Wemby in conversations for DPOY.

Rudy Gobert had a bad time against Christian Braun, but don’t count on him to refuse a duel either.

The Frenchman never hesitates to protect his circle and that’s also why his record is solid for the DPOY.

It remains to be seen whether Victor Wembanyama can beat him to the buzzer…
