It was announced Wednesday that Rudy Gobert won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award for the 2020-2021 season, making it his third time receiving the award in the past four years.
Gobert had a phenomenal season by any measurement, making the All-Star team and leading the Utah Jazz to the best record in the entire NBA. He put up 14.3 points per game, tied his career-high with 13.5 rebounds per game and had 2.7 blocks per game, the highest mark in his career.

Gobert recently signed a five-year max extension contract with the Jazz as he and Donovan Mitchell look to be a dynamic duo for many years to come.
If you would have bet $1,000 in the preseason at +300 odds for Rudy Gobert to win Defensive Player of the Year, you would have taken home $4,000, including $3,000 in profit.
