Rudy Gobert has successfully defended his title.
But what else would you expect?
The Utah Jazz center is keeping the title of the NBA’s best defensive player, winning the league’s Defensive Player of the Year Award for a second consecutive season.
Gobert collected the trophy Monday night at the NBA Awards Show in Los Angeles, beating out Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Oklahoma City’s Paul George for the honor.
Antetokounmpo and George each had stellar seasons for their teams, the latter leading the league in steals and the former playing a key role in the league’s top-rated defense.
