Meh, it's a joke of an award anyway
Asked after the demolition of Toronto if he considers himself a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, the typically reticent Leonard lit up.
“Yeah, most definitely,” said Leonard, who also owns five consecutive 20-point scoring games. “There aren’t too many guys who can defend the one (point guard) through four (power forward) and stay in front of them and really bother them. We’ll see what happens.”
Thursday night, with James back in the building for the first time since June, Leonard will have a chance to prove it.

Kawhi can get the DPOY if he destroys Lebron. Here's to hoping.
Meh, it's a joke of an award anyway
Deandre Jordan will get it
DeAndre Jordan is a lock because it's a hype-based award and Tom Rivers has been campaigning hard for him..Pop will discuss Kawhi's defensive impact, but there's no way he would ever publicly campaign for a player to win a meaningless award like the pathetic Tom Rivers, tbh(or else Tim might have a few DPOYs that he should have won)..
Realistically, Jordan is a good defender, but nowhere near DPOY-caliber, tbh..Draymond Green and Kawhi should both be ahead of him, and even Duncan, too..
Kawhi is not tall enough to win.
The DPOY has been a joke of an award for a long time. It basically goes to the player who swats the most balls into the stands.
Noah
Gasol
Chandler
Howard
Howard
Howard
Garnett
Camby
Wallace
Wallace
Artest
Wallace
Wallace
Mutumbo
Bowen and Duncan not having at least 1 is proof enough that this award is for dumbasses
Most of the guys are or were tremendous defenders when they won
Kawhi' s gotta be the first Spur ever since the Admiral era to prop himself up like that.
max player saying max player things, tbh
HH spitting truth bombs, tho its hard to look at his profile pic...DeAndre Jordan is a lock because it's a hype-based award and Tom Rivers has been campaigning hard for him..Pop will discuss Kawhi's defensive impact, but there's no way he would ever publicly campaign for a player to win a meaningless award like the pathetic Tom Rivers, tbh

Mutumbo and Wallace were great defenders. Artest and Garnett deserved it those years.
I don't think Camby, Chandler and Noah deserved it, they were good help defenders though.
Howard winning was a joke.
Via rotoworld:
I know it's only fantasy, but that's still pretty incredible.Kawhi Leonard tied his career-high with five steals vs. the Raptors, while making 10-of-19 FGs and 4-of-4 FTs to finish with 24 points, 11 rebounds, one assist and one block in 39 minutes.
Advice: Toronto's opponents are averaging 6.9 steals this season, the third-fewest of any team, which makes Leonard's thievery even more impressive. He now has a career-best five straight games with 20+ points and is in an amazing groove after a slow period following his serious hand injury. LeBron James' FT shooting and turnovers are pulling down his value, and Kevin Durant is injured, leaving Leonard as the most valuable fantasy SF in the league.
It's a joke of an award until our guy wins it. Then everyone loses their minds.
He had a pretty good game imo
All of this, tbh.DeAndre Jordan is a lock because it's a hype-based award and Tom Rivers has been campaigning hard for him..Pop will discuss Kawhi's defensive impact, but there's no way he would ever publicly campaign for a player to win a meaningless award like the pathetic Tom Rivers, tbh

Glad to see Leonard has some humility.
Then that will be a step towards the right direction
But like I said, Bowen, Duncan, Lebron not getting at least 1 each speaks for itself
Yes not smart enough to have a filter.Glad to see Leonard has some humility.
very good, now go get some strippers and let the hype begin
It's a popularity award. It's the rebounding/block shot award.
Seems like Parker has been teaching Kawhi about honesty in interviews
I'm loving this confidence. Keep that chip on your shoulder Kawhi!
I agree but I know that I'd be very happy if Kawhi won. The recognition is nice.Then that will be a step towards the right direction
But like I said, Bowen, Duncan, Lebron not getting at least 1 each speaks for itself
Leonard is supah beastin'!
