Defensive Player of the Year

Way too early in the season for this kind of talk tbh.

Tim would have been running away w/ it if he had the media slobbering over him like Kirby esp. considering his age.:lol It would still be remarkable if Tim gets All-NBA 1st Team D honors at the age of 40 (would tie none other than Kirby for 1st team selections:lmao).

There is no way Duncan wins this. :lmao

jordan in 88 and hakeem in 94. That's well known. But leonard isn't gonna win dpoy 2 years in a row. They got to give it to someone else to hype up. I believe the league is gonna screw him

Leonard.

You have to "reward" playing time imo

His PER numbers are off the charts bro, at his age people don't realise how AMAZING it is...

Even if you compare to former HOFers for example it's insane, in 2015 with the atleticism of nowdays BB, the change of rules not helping defenders, etc.

Timmy is underated even by his own fans lmao...

I think Tim is slightly better still but Kawhi has a great shot at repeating if the Spurs' defense continues to be #1.

Dwight was a beast. I put the "fucking" between his names just because, tbh. :lol

So, what do you say now?

We would have lost playing @GSW and @CLE if we had Duncan and Kawhi was out. Kawhi is still the best defensive player in the game. In the future we wouldn't be playing 2 starting PFs.

Tim and Kawhi are going to split votes and that faggot Raymond is going to win it :depressed..
