Who is this year's Defensive Player of the Year?

[AaronY]

Plz pick someone and state your reasons..

[spurraider21]

Tim because I'm a spurs fan.

Tim and Roy Hibbert are both anchoring elite defenses and are both putting up awesome defensive numbers. Although Larry Sanders is pretty amazing, I think he does get a bit of a penalty for not being on a great defensive team, similar to how MVP candidates are always from elite teams. The Bucks aren't even a top 10 defensive team. The way the Spurs defense completely crumbles when Tim leaves the court is enough of a selling point to me

[tlongII]

LeBron.

[DMC]

It's going to be Larry Sanders because of his blocks, or a Denver guy (you know who). Howard might get it as a "fuck you" to the rest of the NBA fans from the NBA Illuminati.

Tim could conceivably get it as well, but I doubt it, because he's a Spur and Pop has pretty much galvanized the media and other teams' offices against them.

Marc Gasol

spurs ain't a defensive elite team any more. a rejuvenated duncan deserves some honor like an appearance in the all-NBA first team but he's not remotely the best defender in the league today imho. bulls are the best defensive team this season so i believe noah deserves this prize more than anyone.

[Arcadian]

I think Tim will get it. He's actually been getting respect from the media this year.

[racm]

Timmy D.

[irishock]

Kobe :lol

[HI-FI]

I chose Kobe because a lot of his cult members have been taking it hard lately, so I figured I would vote for the 9 x All-Defensive First Team player, since other than the block on Lebron, they haven't had much else to celebrate.

[mercos]

Duncan via complete homer pick. No one stands out defensively this year, and he has never won the award. Career achievement award.

[MI21]

:lol Easy answer. Kobe Bryant.

Reasoning?

bulls are the 7th D this year (huge step back from last year) while the spurs are third.

Heat can shut teams out when it matter's, Which no team can.

Lebron

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Kobe

[hater]

unfortunately Lebron will probably get it.

yeah it should go to Duncan thou. Gasol needs a little work and Sanders is just too green

and before someone calls homer, take a look at the Spurs without Duncan on the floor. They are one flapping gaping vagina

[z0sa]

Tim Duncan deserves it, without a doubt. He should probably get 2 for all the years both he and Bowen got stiffed, like that year Camby's corpse got it after only playing 50 games or something.

[ambchang]

Duncan is leading the league in defensive rating.

[monosylab1k]

Duncan should get it but at this point it's probably just a running gag among voters to never give it to him.

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

Dikembe Mutombo's geico commercial sealed the deal for him. He's winning it.

[Brazil]

Duncan
Noah
Bron
Gasol
Sanders

in that order imho

[GuerillaBlack]

Why would Sanders get it based on blocks when he doesn't even lead the league in blocks?

[Dex]

Lebron's going to get MVP. I sincerely doubt they will give him both MVP and DPOY, no matter how "elite" the Heat's defense is.

With that assumption, I think it's down to Duncan and Sanders.

[TDMVPDPOY]

giving DPOY to some clown whose team isnt in the playoffs... :(
