    The only retired consensus top 10 all-time player (O'Neal should be, but is often on the fringe) to not have an award named after them is predictably Duncan.

    Instead of taking this opportunity to name DPOY after him both because it's deserved and a disgrace that he didn't win multiple, he got ignored with that, to a lesser extent ROY and Ginobili with 6th man.

    Not to disagree but naming the defensive POY after a top-ten all-time all-around (i.e., great offensive) player like Duncan might be a bit diminishing.

    People who don't know any better years from now might imagine him the way we think of Ben Wallace.

    That might fly if they didn't name it after Olajuwon.

    David Stern absolutely HATED the Spurs. I thought Adam Silver would be better, but he's just as mercenary, just as soulless, just as revolted by the actual game of basketball.

    Olajuwon is now eternally pigeonholed.

    I hate this, it diminishes the awards. The worse though is rookie. Imagine being a HOF guy, but they put you there. Better to be skipped.

    Regarding Tim,. The nba will never ask casuals to conflate blocks and steals with footwork and help defense. So fine to pass duncan, mutumbo was robbed though

    When the NBA comes up with a Most Cucked Award then I'm sure they will think of Jim. It's a shame they don't have one though bc Steph would've won it for his mom getting banged

    Jim was only legit proven Cucked once. Puts him on bar with Bowen and Barry ... and if you're counting Moms, then Lebron
