Yeah given the years they've put together, Rudy Gobert probably has more of an argument for another DPOY than Bam would to get his first. Bam has never even made all-defense first team.
(fake edit: and lo, DARKO has Gobert first in D-DPM, followed by Nurkic, Draymond, Alex Len?!, Hartenstein!, and Brook Lopez. LEBRON has Gobert first in defense by a mile, followed by Claxton, Wembanyama, Isaac, and Bitazde. But remember, Gobert is the most overrated player in the league, according to the players!)
