Why Spurs' Victor Wembanyama should have won DPOY over Rudy Gobert, per Kevin Garnett

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert won his fourth Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award this season, and not everyone is on board with it. NBA legend Kevin Garnett prefers San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, who would've been the first rookie to ever win the award. Garnett lambasted the league for picking Gobert over “Wemby” on Saturday, via his All the Smoke podcast. “That boy (Wembanyama) should've won defensive player of the year, too, I'm just saying,” Garnett said.
