Yet another reminder that Rudy Gobert is a lock for the HOF.
- 3x DPOY
- 6x All-defense 1st team
- 4x All-NBA (maybe 5)
- 3x All-Star
- Olympic Silver with France
- NBA block leader
- NBA rebound leader
- All-Time leader in TS% and eFG%
- 2nd All-Time in FG%
Forgotten Utah Jazz plays:
Ronnie Price starts it off with a steal,
@Earl_Watson
and Andrei Kirilenko make back to back no-look behind the back passes, and Price finishes it off with a layup 🔥🔥
No player in NBA history has ever had 200 made threes and 100 made dunks in a single season.
Lauri Markkanen is one made three away from being the first.
Chris Paul: 36 years old, 4 year/30M per year
Kyle Lowry: 35 years old, 3 year/30M per year
Mike Conley: 33 years old, 3 year/24M per year
Awesome deal for the Jazz
Rudy Gobert:
3X DPOY
4X All-NBA
5X All-Defense
3X All-Star
And he’ll probably add another one to All-NBA and All-Defense by the end of the year, and maybe another DPOY
Lauri Markkanan was a beast last night. Specifically in the fourth quarter, it seemed like he thought, “I’m just bigger and stronger than these guys. I’m gonna take it to the basket and they can’t stop me”
I'd just like everyone to know that if Donovan Mitchell scores at least 8 points tonight, he'll pass Gordon Hayward for 8th place on the Utah Jazz all-time scoring list.
It took Hayward 516 games to score that many points.
It took Mitchell 339.
Lauri Markkanen is averaging 22.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and shooting 61% TS.
The only other players with at least 22 ppg, 9 rpg, and 60% TS are Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Jazz fans completely turning on Mike Conley is so frustrating. Predictable, but frustrating.
He’s been a top 30 player while in Utah, He had two great postseasons, and was the perfect fit with our two stars.
Then he has one bad series and everyone’s sure he’s a waste of money
I’ve seen my photoshop of Dame in a Jazz jersey with Rudy and Don posted all over Twitter, and it killed me how outdated Rudy and Don looked. So I’ve updated it. Enjoy.
Donovan Mitchell over the last two playoffs (17 games):
33.9 points, 5.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds.
There are only 3 active players with spans of 17 playoff games averaging 33+ points.
LeBron James
Kevin Durant
Donovan Mitchell
I really don’t ever talk politics on here but…
Is there any defense for this kind of talk from this guy? What could he possibly be saying other than that he’s planning to undo American democracy if elected?
Trump: “Christians, get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian”
@NBA_University
All these late-clock heaves and then Dame and Trae just tossing up casual 30-footers with 15 on the shot clock in the middle of the second quarter.
KD had a hand on Lauri as he rose up, hit his shooting hand during the shot, and pushed into his landing spaces so Lauri landed on him. He fouled in three separate ways.
But he grazed the ball so that’s ok?
It’s looking like
@rudygobert27
is a lock for DPOY, 1st team All defense, and 3rd team All-NBA.
His resume will be:
3x DPOY
4x All-NBA
5x All Defense
2x All Star
What are his HOF odds after this season?
Anthony Edwards said the best rim protector in the league is Kristaps Porzingis. On Rudy Gobert, Ant was honest ...
'Anytime I go against Porzingis, I don’t get no layups. I don’t get why we couldn’t finish on Rudy Gobert. He don’t put no fear in my heart. I don’t know why."
Lauri Markkanan was a beast last night. Specifically in the fourth quarter, it seemed like he thought, “I’m just bigger and stronger than these guys. I’m gonna take it to the basket and they can’t stop me”
Donovan Mitchell is currently averaging a career-high TS% at 58.2%
Among 20+ ppg scorers this year, he ranks 11th out of 25 in TS%, ahead of players like Harden, Luka, Tatum, Book, Ja, etc.
He’s officially past the inefficient stage of his career.
Oh no, Joe Ingles has 27 points. He never scores more than 27. He hits that total a few times every year, but never passes it.
My working theory is that it’s out of respect for Rudy Gobert.
960,000+ accounts follow the Utah Jazz. If we assume only half of those are Jazz fans, that’s 480,000. It would only take 5 votes from each of those fans to have both Donovan and Rudy in line to start the all star game.
The Jazz home game on Wednesday, May 12 against Portland at Vivint Arena has been moved from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (MT) and will be broadcast by AT&T SportsNet and ESPN.
Lauri Markkanen is putting up more than 22 points per game, while posting a usage % under 24%.
Only 20 players in NBA history have seasons matching that criteria, the most recent of which was Peja Stojaković in 2003-04
