Nominees for Players Award - Best Defender
The nominees for the best defender are Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis, and D. Jordan. It's interesting to see that the 2015 DPOY is not even nominated. So much disrespect and I thought that the players award might be more legit because these are the guy who are actually on the court. I guess not.

Re: Nominees for Players Award - Best Defender
I read that players have a lot of personal agenda in these awards. Like voting for there best buddies or what not. So these awards are really bias.

Re: Nominees for Players Award - Best Defender
Is this a real award or some ESPY popularity crap?

This is the first year the players are doing this. The players union came up with this. Not related to ESPYs at all. It is to increase their popularity though.

Thanks. I had no idea. Seems like it will just cloud the waters with the official NBA awards.

Re: Nominees for Players Award - Best Defender
Lebron wins the 4 categories that he was nominated in; Lebron fans go nuclear that he wasn't nominated for Best Rookie, Global Impact Player, Coach You Most Want to Play For, and Best Home Court Advantage.

Re: Nominees for Players Award - Best Defender
It's an interesting list. Whatever motivations or agenda there might be for players voting for certain other players, always interesting to see their perspective.

Re: Nominees for Players Award - Best Defender
I don't like the nominees for this, but it kinda makes sense why AD and DJ are on this list. Because unlike Kawhi, every player in the league has to meet those 2 guys at the rim where they will get their shot blocked or at least altered. So everyone has experienced how tough it is to go at those guys. I understand that big men in the league don't usually have to be guarded by Kawhi so that's probably a good chunk of votes lost. BUT I still don't understand how the two other wing players beat out Kawhi(also Draymond) because they are very versatile defenders. I'm sure these players watch the games or hear from their wing teammates how tough it is to play against Kawhi. I might not like these awards because it may end up being the same people every year other than the rookies...
