    How is this guy STILL this bad at basketball? No feet, no hands, no composure. Unless a guard “here comes the airplane” him’s every play he ends up looking like this with the rock.

      Guys that big are generally not very coordinated or athletic at all. Sometimes you gotta remember it’s a miracle he can do the things he can do on the court at his size and height. And he’s stayed healthy. I highly doubt it’s an effort thing, some guys just literally don’t have the talent to become more than what they are. It’s why Wemby is so special…

        Kinda hard to justify when he’s so good defensively. Timing, anticipation, coordination, defensive post footwork, defensive IQ and vision, he shows so much on the defensive end it’s hard to fathom why none of that shows up on the offensive end.

        Also, is BBIQ an effort thing cause Gibert’s offensive BBIQ is really low.

          No it’s not an effort thing lmao have you never heard of a defensive specialist? Sometimes I’ve side of the ball just makes more sense/comes more naturally to a player. I’m sure nobody wishes Gobert was better at offense than Gobert, but I really don’t think there’s anything he can do. Dude is good, even great on the defensive end, but I think he’s reached his talent ceiling

            Defensive specialist know their roles and the smart ones don’t put themselves in positions where they have to do more than they are capable of.

            Gobert seems to take zero effort into being smart on offense sans the offensive rebounding and screens. Cause if he were actively thinking about how to help his team on offense he wouldn’t be asking for the ball in the post thinking “pass” when a 6’1 guard is on him. Like you seriously must not be thinking if you asked for the ball in that situation and didn’t know what the right thing to do was.

              I agree with you because Brook Lopez became a 3pt specialist at the tail end of his career and Rudy Gobert is about as good as a llama on offense, and has been his entire career

                Brook had good FT and midrange numbers his entire career, someone like that usually has way more potential to expand that to the perimeter

          Yes my dude, it’s why Giannis is considered one of the best to play the game. You haven’t made the point you think you have.
