I said prior he might win, but only because of 2nd place votes and third place votes..Like Draymond will have more 1st place votes, but less 2nd and third..let's see maybe I'm wrong.

Bud was crying about his father, not about Pop. He looks like he's about to cry all the time anyhow, but reflecting on his dad and probably Pop has substituted in that role, at least emotionally, for Bud... Bud can't hide his feelings. Pop is likely going to go extra hard at the media just to shake the "awe shucks" he has to be getting from all the praise being heaped upon him.

“Congratulations to Kawhi,” he said. “He’s a great defender. Phenomenal defender. He impacts the defensive end just as good as anybody in the league. So congratulations to him.


“Kawhi is what we all strive to be. He’s a champion. So you can’t sit here and beat yourself up or worry about what happened. He’s a champion. How can anybody complain about that?


“Disappointed? Yeah … but to be angry? That man’s a champion and we all strive to be that. You can’t knock that. He’s done that at the highest level. He’s helped carry his team to a championship on the defensive end.”

I agree, but I said his outside chance was that Green is playing with Bogut and Jordan screwing everything for Green...

I've seen him in multiple 2nd team votes but I also have seen him not being in the list...hopefully the points he gets for 2nd team bumps him to third team at least, but realistically, I say there's small chances..but who knows.

Eh, the age comparison is never a good indicator. They should compare by seasons played instead since experience matters more. Pippen at 23 was in his 2nd year in the league. Kawhi at 23 is in his 4th year.

[BillMc]

Kawhi is a Finals MVP and DPOY BEFORE being selected to his first All-Star game. Can't imagine that's happened before.

[KL2]

I believe the only FMVP's to win DPOY are Jordan and Olajuwon, that's some elite company.

Glad he got it, 100% deserved it.

[KL2]

I think the age comparison is good. Leonard's rookie year was a lockout so he didn't really learn that much, his 2nd year was basically his rookie year, then he's had all sorts of injuries during the off season which has halted his development. Sort of evens it out I guess.

I honestly believe he deserves it and he has a good chance to get it. He is the best defender of the league but also the scoring leader of the actual defending champs that just missed second seed in the loaded west by 1/2 game.

On a side note, I liked his speech for his award, contrary to what you've said I think Kawhi is happy with the Spurs and acknowledge all what this organization is doing for him. I think he will accept the max offer from Spurs and won't try UFA in two years imo

[hater]

I hope they make a big deal about it at the ATT center on Friday. No way we lose in Kawhis DPOY night. The series most likely will be Spurs 2 Flipper 1 come Saturday :tu

Nah, you don't compare a 2nd year player to a 4th year player. That 3rd-4th year is when a rising star player usually has his breakout season and starts showing those enhanced skills through experience in the league. Pippen also had his injuries early in his career with the offseason back surgery after his rookie year and struggled during the first couple of months in his sophomore year.

Kawhi locked it up with those 7 steals vs GS. That press conference too... dude's staying humble. Love it.

This aint the last one he's gonna win.

I don't know why people think Bowen should have been DPOY. Don't get me wrong he was a good defender. He did a good job at staying in front of his man and funneling his man towards Duncan but his defense wasn't anything game-breaking. He was hardly a ball thief. Wasn't much of a shotblocker. His rebounding (also apart of defense) sucked ass. He was just too one dimensional to be recognized as a DPOY candidate and having prime Duncan (the real DPOY) on the team didn't help his case either. And then to top it off he had the "dirty" rep. Bowen was basically the anti-Kawhi.

[Outlier]

Umm isnt there a statistic where Bowen would make other allstars shoot 20% against him every time he played against them? I think this is why he should've been dpoy.

The Real News in this thread has barely been discussed.



Rob Diaz owns a tablet. .....Mind blown.

[wildchild]

Kawhi Leonard was at a local theatre in December to watch “The Lion King” with his mother, when he found out children from Respite Care of San Antonio were attending the same show. Plans to duck in and out of the theatre were scrapped, as Leonard spent a few extra minutes visiting with the kids, many who have special needs.

“He’s actually very talkative with children,” said Pearl Williams, who has worked with Respite Care for 28 years. “He’s got a great smile, and he’s so personable. The kids love him.”

Leonard was the same way with America and Santiago on Thursday, who are two children from Respite Care that came to the Spurs’ practice facility to see Leonard accept the KIA Defensive Player of the Year trophy.

When Leonard was awarded the trophy, it came with keys to a 2016 KIA Sorrento for Leonard to donate to a charity of his choice. He’s gifted it to Respite Care.

Respite Care provides aid for children with special needs who have been taken into protective custody as a result of abuse and neglect. The car will help take children to doctor’s appointments, foster homes and field trips.

“The trophy’s probably going to collect dust, but the vehicle is going to come in handy,” Leonard said “Respite Care needs that car to transfer kids and give them a chance to see a better side of life.”

Leonard was gracious in accepting the trophy, but quickly moved on to getting back to work as the Spurs and Clippers are tied 1-1 in their first-round series. The car, meanwhile, will be put to use by Respite Care for the next 15 years.

Bert Pfiester, president and CEO of Respite Care, said the small charity takes care of about 60 children at any given time, many with mental disabilities, autism, seizure disorders or physical injuries.

“Some of our kids have come to us straight from the hospital,” Pfiester said. “For Kawhi to make this gesture, he’s holding these kids high, and many of these kids have never had someone think of them.”

The program has to make an average of about 30 doctor appointments a week, and the average car in Respite Care’s fleet has 150,000 miles. This will be the first new car the foundation has had since it opened in 1987.

They’ll also use the car to take kids on field trips to museums, the zoo, and even a few Spurs games.

Leonard is just one Spurs player who has a relationship with Respite Care. While Becky Hammon was a player with the WNBA’s Stars, she asked fans to donate to Respite Care as a birthday gift.

“This gift is going to go such a long way,” Williams said. “It’s a miracle for us.”

Congrats to Kawhi!

[cjw]

I was going to say that the Spurs should have their previous two DPOYs present him the award. Admiral will definitely be there, but the other one might not be seen in public much these days...

[TD 21]

The words from Green are nice, but don't change the fact that he's an arrogant, self promoter and so are Bogut, Speights and Kerr. I've never heard so many references to having the best record in the league as I have from them, as well as constantly taking shots at other teams.

As far as the award, I think a lot of what hurt Green hurt Duncan for years: Though there's advanced defensive metrics now, it's still more difficult to quantify and therefore more subjective than offense, so the fact that he doesn't look the part of a great defender is something some probably can't get over. He's also on a team with another elite defender, a rim protecting one at that, which is generally the single most important defensive skill.

Chris Paul getting a vote???? LMFAO

paul has been awesome this year on both ends of the floor..Did he deserve a vote? I don't know .but nigga was balling on both ends of the floor.

My daughter (who is in a cast recovering from a broken arm) ran into Kawhi at La Fiesta after his DPOY press conference. She asked him for an autograph, and he declined. What the fuck is his god damn problem? Does he not realize she had a broken arm? He's lucky I wasn't there or I would have had words with him.

So your beating your daughter to the point where her arm broke? Thats a little over the top IMHO!

That vote came from one of the Portland Trailblazers' announcers. His top 3:

1) DeAndre Jordan
2) Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
3) Chris Paul

No mention of Kawhi Leonard. No mention of Draymond Green. Not sure this guy actually watches basketball honestly...

Still feels good man...srs

Kawhi winning DPOY means the spurs at least won something..It's not as good as a ring, but it's a an ok consolation I guess.
