Is this a rhetorical "convince me", kind of like your Grizz should be favored one?
... that Tim Duncan not having a DPOY to his name is the biggest fvckin' bullsh!t in all of sporting history.
Fat Gasol was the DPOY? Duncan just anchored a defense that played the best defensive series in a conference finals since -- maybe ever.
WTF.

Well, if the voting for DPOY actually was done by people who know Bowen might have actually got one. Gasol over Duncan isn't nearly as bad as those Camby over Bowen awards.
No need. It IS the biggest travesty in the NBA. Well, that and .4 and maybe that LA/SAC game 6 in 2002 . . .
Nah, Duncan being robbed seals it.
All NBA 2nd Team Defense Marc Gasol to be exact tbh.
How much deer antler spray do you think Duncan's been taking this season
It has a lot to do with the lack (understatement) of perimeter shooters of Memphis.
Duncan gets the last laugh.
Yeah..convince me as well.
Also Duncan needs to get divorced more often
People are mostly gullible and are for the most part content with shinny things.
Spurs Bb is the best brand of Bb. Its the chess of bb
You're not allowed to have basketball takes for the rest of the playoffs.
but... but... duncan's influence on defense can't be quantified.
Justice was served with the All-NBA teams. DPOY is pretty much a bull award at this point.
he took some days off tbqh
If TD not getting DPOY and AD 1st team is the price to pay for the Spurs winning it all, I'll be damn sure TD will gladly pay up.
I try not to let it bother me. Duncan's career has hit a stratosphere where it really just becomes trivial... He'll be known as a dominant defensive player and the greatest PF of all time. Some day people will talk about Duncan and part of the conversation will go, "Did you know he never won DPOY?" "No way, that's surprising." "It's true." "Bull ." "No dude I'm serious, Google it."
I agree with Manny that Bowen losing it is a far bigger travesty. Both for who he lost to, and because it would have meant a lot more for his legacy.
Tim Duncan is by far the best defensive player in NBA history to not win a DPOY since it's inception, and it's not even remotely close.
Tim Duncan is 2nd all time in career defensive rating (0.07 away from first, and he's only just 2nd because it's slipped down some as his career's gone WELL into his late 30s), and he will also be 2nd in defensive win shares by far above everyone else by time his career's done. He will blow past everyone besides Bill Russell early next year in that too.
It's a huge joke Duncan doesn't have a DPOY. I think it's even more annoying now because Marc Gasol won it when Duncan was clearly better defensively this season.
I know the Grizzlies don't have a great offense but the Spurs just made them look bottom of the league for 4 games. That's after unleashing damn good D in the final 3 games of the Warriors series
The best argument against him is that while Duncan has been better per minute defensively, Gasol played like 700 more minutes during the season and there is value to that. Spurs have won games with just great offense on some games when Duncan's not moving great, or they've won games without him playing, period. If fat Gasol doesn't play 35+ minutes of good D every night though Grizz can't beat anybody. Just not enough firepower.
Short memory huh?
What about 1999?
And yup Timmy not having at least one DPOTY is a disgrace to the sport
It will be rather. He was good but his resume says he was not dpoty once, so he was not that gr8 defensive force
