Nicholas Buchanan+FollowTim Duncan & David Robinson — The Best Defensive Duo Ever?Few frontcourt pairings have anchored a defense like the San Antonio Spurs’ Twin Towers. David Robinson: 1992 Defensive Player of the Year, 8× All-Defensive Team, 10× All-Star. Tim Duncan: 15× All-Defensive Team, 3× Finals MVP, widely regarded as the greatest defensive power forward ever. Together, they patrolled the paint, controlled the glass, and turned San Antonio into a perennial contender. Their partnership culminated in the 1999 NBA championship, where defense set the tone. What's your take: Are Duncan & Robinson the best defensive duo in NBA history—or do you put another pair above them? #NBA #NBAPartners #TimDuncan #DavidRobinson #NBAHistory #Spurs #DPOY #BasketballTalk #Sports 31111Share
Edwin French+FollowRudy Gobert has been DPOY level this seasonThe Wolves started shaky, but they’ve climbed back to top-5 in the west — and the constant is still Rudy Gobert anchoring everything on defense. Per Cleaning the Glass on/off + shot-profile tracking, Gobert’s impact this year has been absurd: the defense improves by roughly 14 points per 100 with him on the floor, opponents take way fewer rim attempts when he’s out there, their efficiency drops, and he’s even suppressing free throws — plus his rebounding has ramped up in December. He’s 33, still vacuuming boards, still erasing the paint, still making Minnesota’s entire scheme viable — all while the DPOY conversation about him feels weirdly quiet. Are people just tired of giving him credit? #NBA #Timberwolves #RudyGobert #DPOY #Defense #NBAStats #BasketballTalk 10Share
