Yeah - I read a quote from Demarcus Cousins saying Rudy is overrated because the team has to pull him off the court in the 4th quarter in close games.

I can't remember the last time that ever happened.

Then there's Shaq claiming Rudy wouldn't be able to guard the classic big men that were around when Shaq was doing his thing. 1. Rudy doesn't control the NBA rosters. 2. Who are these big men that Rudy wouldn't have been able to defend against? 3.Could Shaq ever guard guards and players like Durant in iso situations like Rudy does? Fuck no he couldn't.

Fuck the haters. Go Rudy!

Dumb. Physically he’s not that different from Olajuwon or Mutombo and they’ve probably got 6-7 DPOY’s and 10 All Defense awards between them.

Rudy would struggle with Shaq.


Everyone struggled with Shaq. Shaq is a hall of famer.


Rudy would shut down Greg Ostertag.

The Mutombo comp is fair, but Olajuwon was a million times more smooth and coordinated than Rudy.

if this an opinion of the players, I can only think that Rudy is making playing D a thing again - we killed it this year shutting teams down - and half of these players wouldn't know how to guard a potted palm. If the league goes on a D binge, half of these guys are going to be looking over their shoulders when roster cuts are made.

I'm only half kidding. Rudy does something REALLY well that most NBA players are bad at.

Sure, but I was just talking about height, weight, reach.

Suns may not see 100 points second straight game--they need 19 in 6:04.
This is the NBA's #1 defense since early November. The overrated guy seems to be pretty steadfast to me.

Guards are gonna eventually have to realize that having Rudy in iso isn’t a mismatch they can exploit. In fact, it’s a terrible idea.
