I didn't know that DPOY was not given to players because they were "natural athletes". In fact, I've never heard, "well he's SO athletic so obviously he should be a good player" ever used in the context of detracting from an NBA player's ability. Wtf? He's somehow less of a great defensive player because he's an athlete?

If that's the case, Duncan should have won DPOY every single year since he entered the league.
