1. Bad 24 hours for the Warriors

2. Draymond in shambles.

3. Wow, I really thought Draymond had the momentum there for a second

   So glad Mobley is living up to his potential on both ends

4. Happy for him, especially after all of last year’s discourse.

5. Good thing that Draymond wasn’t able to narrative himself into winning the award. That shit was wack

6. The correct choice!

7. Sengun, please protect yourself next game. Someone is gonna be really mad

8. Congratulations to him, he was the best defensive big man this season

9. Surprised they got it right tbh

10. Well deserved. Super impactful to Cavs success this season.

11. Nice, well deserved and always cool to see a young talented player get his first star-making award. He’s an outstanding two-way player

12. THE KING OF CLEVELAND

13. But he doesn’t even have his own podcast? Ridiculous… NBA awards are a joke

14. Well deserved. I definitely think he and Daniels were the class of the league once Wemby went down.

15. This isn’t anti draymond as a player but thank the lord he wasn’t able to campaign his way to the award

16. MY AGENDA 🙏

17. Ethical Award

18. Mobley got his before Wemby takes over the next decade I’m so proud

19. [r/nba](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/) can breathe a sigh of relief

20. Hell yeah. Gonna be Wemby’s award for awhile so I’m very glad Ev could snag this one. Huge payday for him.

21. Well deserved! If my tall, lanky boy couldn’t win this year, at least it goes to another tall, lanky boy. 😤

22. Well deserved happy to see anyone but Green win!

23. Congratulations

    Also Cavs fans, is he the first player in team history to win the award?

24. Crazy. Is he the first player in franchise history to win the award?

25. Fuck Draymond! LFG!!

26. Congrats Mobley, well deserved.

27. So happy he got one in before Wemby wins 15 in a row

28. Congrats to him! He was one of my favorites to watch this season!

42. I’m glad they didn’t rob him of this like they did his rookie of the year award.

43. I’ll admit I don’t know Mobleys game, I assume he deserves this so congrats to him! Tough getting any award in a league that only 1 person gets to have.

44. Lmao almost double Draymond’s vote count. Get fucked.

45. Good for Mobley, well deserved.

    Get it before this becomes the Wemby award for the next 10 years lol
