Jalen Rose gives the DPOY to Leonard

[SpursforSix]

Gave his picks on that show he has. I like Rose but that show is awkward.

[Horse]

They can say what they want with their stats and whatever bs they have but Leonard is the leagues best defender!

Most likely scenario Leonard doesnt get MVP but as pity post gets DPOY and NBA 1st team

DPOY starts at 6:48

Kawhi doesnt deserve DPOY tbh. Still the best defender in the league but not this year. He feserves MVP though.

[dabom]

Best defender on the number one defensive team. He deserves both TBH.

[Chinook]

And this is why Green will never get serious All-Defense consideration.

[DPG21920]

Gobert should be DPOY

[apalisoc_9]

But Leonard has a pretty good chance of winning DPOY though. I think NBA wants to crown him as the best defender of all time. Multiple personalities already echo that opinion.

If you campagin more for kawhi mvp next year he might make it. But i wont be surprised to see kawhi win dpoy and mvp at the same year.

Leonard won't get MVP or DPY, but I think people still accept that he's the best defender in the game, but like LeBron or Jordan, they aren't going to give you the award every year, though everyone knew they were the best every year they played.

[Chinook]

Kawhi hasn't been the best defender this year. Anyone remotely objective should be able to admit that. But it's safe to say it would take more than one bad year to dethrone him

You said dedmon was a better defender than Kawhi. :lol

[lilbthebasedgod]

Third best spur defender this year tbh and that's me looking at things with huge subjective lenses.

[cd98]

LeBron is the best player in the game, but other guys have had better seasons this year. Kawhi is the best defender in the game, but guys have had better defensive seasons. The Spurs have not asked Kawhi to be as good as he is. He often doesn't guard the other team's best player until the middle of the 4th quarter. They have saved his energy for offense and then turned his defense loose the last 5 minutes of the game. And consequently, Kawhi has had a bunch of game winning performances with a big defensive play in the last few possessions.

Lebron never won nor deserved a DPOY.

Was referring to him being the best overall player...MVP. But LeBron is a great defender. But bc of what he does on offense, he rests on defense until money time.

Kawhi getting NBA 1st team wouldn't be a pity award. Gobert should be the DPOY, but I'd rather see Kawhi win it again (even if undeserving) than Draymond win it. Just to see his mom have another twitter meltdown.

In theory Lebron could've / could win DPOY. But like you say, he doesn't want to sacrifice any offense for it. That to me is what makes Kawhi the clear cut MVP. He's actively a top five player at both ends of the court while leading his team to 60 plus wins. Nobody else even comes close to that distinction. It'll be a total ripoff if he doesn't win the MVP.

Even now, the ESPN cuck on TV (Raptors/Bucks) is saying "this has to be the toughest year to choose" and then choosing "triple-double" Westbrook. No, it's not tough at all. It's stat padders versus the guy who is getting it done.

The DPOY is for no earthling to give ... or take.

I disagree. LeBron's role is so important on offense, he reserves his defense until it's needed, I.e. 4th quarter and in spots during the game. Spurs have done the same with Kawhi...for example, against the Pacers, Green spent most of the night guarding Paul George and Kawhi only guarded him in spots.

[Budkin]

Donkey already has DPOY wrapped up according to media.

Nope.Gobert.

[SpursFan86]

Nope.Gobert.

Should be Gobert, but I'd be shocked if the media picked him over Draymond. I'd bet quite a bit of money that Draymond wins DPOY this year.

Had PG gone off, people would have remember that. But because Danny shut PG down, people assume Leonard must have done it. Again, this is why Kawhi is going to get DPOY votes while Green will likely not get more than a sprinkle of All-D votes. Danny will always be considered a side character in the Kawhi Show, even though he's better than most lead defenders like Bradley, Beverly and Butler.

[TDomination]

In the last 21 years, only 1 player who has won DPOY won the championship that same year. I'd rather them give it to Green and let Kawhi get Finals MVP honors again.

Kawhi and Lebron are clearly on different levels defensively. I don't fault Lebron for "reserving." But I acknowledge the clear cut difference in their games.

If Danny isn't getting All D, who gets the nod?

Paul is probably a lock at the guard spot. Bradley was hurt a good portion of the year (55 games, though Paul was only 61). Butler and Roberson are listed as forwards (thanks Oladipo and Wade).

Zach Lowe has Paul/Danny and Beverley/Allen. Now that they've culled the voter rolls of a bunch of hometown homers who are casual fans, it should eliminate the silly All D picks just like MLB has cleaned up its Gold Glove awards.
