After wearing the same jersey during the Olympic Games, Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert will once again compete for the title of NBA Defender of the Year.
A Finals MVP has spoken out on this subject in the media.
The Olympic Games are over, to the great dismay of sports fans, and even more so basketball fans. Because our French teams, while they were not necessarily expected to perform at such a level, managed to earn a place in the final against the monsters of Team USA.
For both the girls and the boys, the gap seems to be narrowing further.
For our international players, it is now time for a well-deserved vacation.
For example, the NBA season does not resume until the end of October, which should give them time to recharge their batteries.
For fans of the American league, on the other hand, we must look towards this deadline to avoid getting totally depressed.
Chauncey Billups cash on the difference between Gobert and Wemby
Fortunately, for this, we can count on the always very interesting statements coming from the United States.
For example, in the podcast of his former teammate Rasheed Wallace, Blazers coach Chauncey Billups made a fairly honest assessment of Victor Wembanyama.
For the 2004 Finals MVP, he will sweep everything in the future.

Victor Wembanyama is not Rudy Gobert, you are crazy.
He will win the next 10 Defensive Player of the Year titles. Rudy Gobert is an excellent defender, but he is not as complete and versatile as a Ben Wallace at the time.
You can chase him on all pick-and-rolls. Victor Wembanyama is the kind of guy who can stay on the court in all circumstances.
According to Chauncey Billups, there is a big difference between Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert on the defensive side.
The Blazers coach believes that the Spurs’ No. 1 can stay on the court in all game configurations, against all imaginable opponents, while the Timberwolves’ DPOY sometimes shows limitations, especially on pick-and-roll.
And this is an observation undoubtedly shared by Vincent Collet during this fortnight in Paris, since he put Gobert on the bench after a rather difficult start to the tournament.
It remains to be seen how the latter will react when play resumes.
Will he be motivated and dot the i’s, or will he lose confidence and sink?
Already at the end of the season, many voices were raised to defend Victor Wembanyama in the race for the DPOY.
Logically, this trend should strengthen when play resumes, and this 100% French duel should no longer really exist.
