Agreed.
I've always said, the biggest award travesty in major North American professional sports, is Duncan not winning DPOY. He should have a bunch and the only reasons he doesn't, is 1) He doesn't look the part of a great defender and 2) The majority of the media/casual fans, know very little about defense and up until recently, the weren't nearly as many metrics for it as offense (even now, it still lags behind).

Kawhi is at 18.7 DWS so didn't make my arbitrary cut-off. He'd rank #10 over Ewing if included in the rankings (didn't check anyone else under 20 DWS):

Are you trying to be edgy or something ? What elementary math ? I'm saying defensive win shares as used in this thread is not a good metrics to evaluate individual defender otherwise Parker would never make top 80.. What's your point faggot ?

Divide his WS by 48 minutes & you will get the answer aka WS/48; someone is trying hard to save face after making a FALSE statement::sleep

you have the reading comprehension of an hot oyster tbh... in this thread, a poster put a list based on cumulative DWS, that was this cumulative DWS I was referring to... not sure what is hard to understand...
Re: Is Tim Duncan A Top 5 All-Time Defender?
Yes. #1 PF defender of all time. If you were making an all NBA defense historic team, Tim would be at PF. Before long Kawhi will be the other forward on that list.
Re: Is Tim Duncan A Top 5 All-Time Defender?
If you consider his entire body of work, not his his peak vs other players' peaks, you'd have a hard time justifying leaving Tim out of that conversation.

Idiot, just b/c they listed DWS it doesn't mean you can't covert it to DWS/48 to make a VALID point. It's like claiming Jordan's cumulative point totals can't be used to argue he was a better scorer than Karl Malone b/c it isn't DIRECTLY related to PPG.:lol

I'm going slow but just because you seem to be a charming human being...
1. Somebody posted a list of cumulative DWS
2. I said it is not a good metric
3. You start calling me out for saying basically the same thing than me
4. from there you deflect calling me out for not writting stuff like you know mate your list blabla defensive ws per 48 is better blabla but dws per 48 depends also on team you play with then I say you know DBPM is a good complement but then all metrics are flawed blablabla so you could use also dat new interesting stuff about opponent FG% blabla then blabla
DWS/48 is more valid than cumulative but it is not a flawless metric...
anything else ?

Bruh, you FAILED to acknowledge DWS/48 existed & made a blanket statement: "Defensive win shares is not a great metrics to judge individual defensive impact".
It's too late to save face::sleep

bruh I was referring to a freaking list posted just before... :lol I failed to acknowledge... I can say DWS is not a good metric but at the same time I would not know that DWS/48 exist or DBPM exist... smh
bruh DWS/48 is also flawed
Re: Is Tim Duncan A Top 5 All-Time Defender?
BTW I continue on the notion that it is not a great metrics but not totally useless tbh...
