It’s official! Rudy Gobert is now a three-time winner of Defensive Player of the Year Award.
2020-21 NBA Defensive Player of the Year: Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. This is Gobert's third DPOY.

This comes as no surprise as Gobert had an absolutely dominant year as the cornerstone of the Utah Jazz defense.
Because of Gobert, Utah was able to sacrifice defense for shooting at multiple positions and the defense stayed in the top 10 in the league in efficiency this season.
