wemby not winning for dec is crazy....almost 5 blocks a game in dec.
It's not voter fatigue (no one votes for these awards - the NBA just picks out who to give them to) but rather the NBA just trying to spread the wealth. It's wahtever, the awards are new marking gimmicks so its clear they will use them in that way. If the vote was held today Wemby easily wins DPOY. He's going to win it. Y'all don't have to be so damn scared though lol.
Joke ing spurs and french “fans”. I have been voting with 2 accounts, do I need to up this cause of the morons who dont vote
Wemby is unanimous DPOY this is just a meme take from the media smh
Nobody is scared, tbh. We are just calling out the obvious bull .
There's literally a post a couple above mine worried that Wemby is going to lose DPOY if the Spurs won't win enough. Spurs fans are always scared the NBA is going to them over when the NBA doesn't even decides who wins it. Its just like in the game threads when people start with the NBA conspiracies when the refs miss calls.
Well, that journalist has lost his mind. Wemby is easily the best defender in the whole league.
He was last season too
Almost unanimously from an anonymous players poll. Gobert got it on the record and dogma (and was only 4th or 5th on the players' ranking btw)
I still think he'll get it but just for the laugh Wemby has almost as many stocks last month than the 2 DPOM winner (JJJ and Mobley) COMBINE
Yeah, the voters just didn't want to give it to a rookie.
As compe ive as Wemby is, he keeps receipts. I can't wait to see what kind of fire this lights under him.
Ok, one guy is "scared".
Yeah, total disgrace is what it is.
Like, WTF, it's like an April Fool's joke.
I wonder how Jaren Jr. feels when he's handed out that .
Tim Duncan never won DPOY and DRob only won it once... what I'm trying to say is that sometimes this is just ing stupid
It used to be 100% prestige and resume related but it now has a direct financial impact tho.
JJJ or other defensive players who don't have a shot at All NBA teams will directly be impacted financially if Wemby gets DPOY all the time bc it's their only shot at the super max extension.
It's a stupid part of the CBA
I disagree. If there are no limiting factors, everyone would want a SuperMax. Spoiler alert: not everyone deserves the SuperMax. You have 1 MVP, 1 DPOY, and 15 All NBA slots. Technically, that’s 17 possible players who could become SuperMax eligible in any year, although really 16, since I can’t see the MVP not making one of the 15 All NBA slots. Some of those players will not be coming up for extensions or new contracts, so maybe 6-8 guys every year are going to get SuperMaxed. And it’s not like you get the SuperMax or nothing. It’s a 5% cap bump over whatever cap figure is the max for you longevity. It should be exclusive and only go to the best of the best. If you want it, earn it. If you don’t, you’re not going into the poorhouse. You’ll still accrue multi- generational wealth.

5. Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs
Last week’s ranking: No. 6
Season stats: 25.6 ppg, 10 rpg, 3.9 bpg
His case: Massive leap by the second-year center over the last few weeks, punctuated by his tremendous Christmas game in New York. In December he became the first player in NBA history to compile 300 points, 100 rebounds, 50 blocks, 50 assists and 40 three-pointers in a calendar month.
Wemby is also a strong candidate for Kia Defensive Player of the Year. He’s leading the league in blocks, more than a full block over Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler.
He only crack the top 5 because luka got injured. He step up and play like MVP the rest of the season to prove he desereve to be in the top 5
Always knew that had something to do with more than just crossovers and stuff.
Don't forget Bruce Bowen.
DPOY has always been a frustrating award, particularly when the voters just lazily give it to the guy they gave it to last year on legacy and reputation. Mutumbo got one or two BS ones, as did Ben Wallace, and now Gobert.
I'd be surprised if Wemby doesn't get it this year though. And maybe he'll even get a couple "legacy" DPOYs later when he's past his prime.
Wish I could find the photoshop I did of this photo of Cotton Camby getting his DPOY where I put Bruce in a defensive stance at the top of his trophy.
One of a kind himself praising another player "one of a kind"...
