J.E. Skeets

I guess Bill Russell probably is similar.

The athleticism and size, that's what Wemby is, but he's playing against incredible athletes at this point.

So, yeah, not a surprise.

A little bit of a surprise that he was unanimous, I would say.

Anytime you just see unanimous for an award, it's like, oh...

That's impressive.

But I also started thinking Spurs have to be the greatest defensive franchise in NBA history.

Yes.

Wemby is the fourth Spur to win defensive player of the year.

Alvin Robertson was their first.

David Robinson got one as well.

Kawhi got a couple of them.

Tim Duncan was all defense 15 times.

Tim Duncan didn't win one.

Eight times.

He didn't win one.

So the Spurs got to be.

Yeah.

uh wemby called this too he said in march i believe i'm the most impactful player defensively in the league so he was right there no lies detected i do like about this uh this is where the eye test matches the defensive numbers right you watch a game you're like yeah that guy's the best defensive player guys are scared to shoot when he's around the nopes the neverminds whatever we call them also league leading 3.1 blocks no one else averaged more than two blocks per game

Like Chet Holmgren's like 1.9.
