GSG!

[Leetonidas]

The fact that this is the first time he's won the award tells you what a joke it is :lol congrats to Vic though

Edit: can't read lol didn't realize this was the first time it was awarded

He's the inaugural winner.

[spurraider21]

i was about to say, i didnt know this was a thing

new award makes it make sense

[Leetonidas]

He's the inaugural winner.

Guess I'm the joke then :lol

I was gonna say I didn't even realize this was an award but I also never really paid attention. Good call :tu

[WaywardTexan]

I still think it is a travesty that he didn't win the award EVEN ONCE before it existed.

[Spurs Homer]

But but

his 3 pointers!

[Brazil]

We tend to forget he is the best defender of the league by a wild margin and since his rookie year tbh…

[Sugus]

And then you remember he's dropping 30pt triple-doubles, and 50 point games, in addition to the DPOY-level defense.....

He's even better than advertised.

[GAustex]

Guess I'm the joke then :lol:tu
Yep

[Joseph Kony]

1st of many

[heyheymymy]

DPOM

BOMB

Congrats, Victor!

DPOMs lead to DPOYs

[ginobilized]

About time!!!

Watch him win every month

[RC_Drunkford]

who came up with the idea for this award? What's next? Sixth man of the month? :lol

[BatManu20]

Well-deserved but does he get a little trophy or plaque something? Otherwise what the fuck is the point of this new award tbh.

Do you know how many times he gonna win this before he retires? Trust me, he doesn't need a plaque, tbh. :lol

It's very fitting that Wemby is the very first recipient of this new award.

It's very fitting that Wemby is the very first recipient of this new award.

It might end up being named the Victor Wembanyama Award by the time he hangs them up :lol

[DAF86]

I think I dig this new award. It motives folks to give more effort on defense during the regular season.

[jmard5]

QQ: Does winning the most monthly defensive player awards mean you'll automatically win DPOY?

[100%duncan]

I woke up and this was the first thing I saw on my feed. I thought he won player of the month :lol

[KingKev]

Fk Rudy Gobert

[Brazil]

And then you remember he's dropping 30pt triple-doubles, and 50 point games, in addition to the DPOY-level defense.....

He's even better than advertised.

as of now he is like top 15/20 offensive player in the league ? Then you factor the fact that he plays only 32 mpg… i mean he is a beast

[rjv]

just name the award after him already.

[TXstbobcat]

By the end of the season the WC Defensive player of the month award will be named the Wemby award.

[Thomas82]

It might end up being named the Victor Wembanyama Award by the time he hangs them up :lol


That's definitely a possibility.

[Arcadian]

Theoretically, this should make the DPOY award much more straightforward.

Whoever won the most DPOM awards? That's the DPOY.

[Tyronn Lue]

He won't be in the 3pt shooting contest.

How can someone be your best player...and your worst player at the same time?
