It's a joke if you ask me. Just look at Roy Hibbert.

Too many good defenders, but I hate that list.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
Why do you hate that list? And what about Hibbert? Are you saying he doesn't belong or isn't properly recognized?


That's not a joke at all. All of those players are prime time defensive players - stoppers, defensive anchors, etc. I would say there are some blemishes (Chris Paul, Lebron to some extent), but that's a solid list giving recognition to players who deserve it (love Iggy, Tony Allen, and Tim Duncan getting cred).
I like Marcus Smart

Good for Gasol, he earned it. I think if Avery played the full season he'd be in the top 5 no question, the stats back it up.

Seems good to me.

Chris Paul should be on the list Being nba Leader in steals
Same reason Larry Sanders is on it because of blocking

Avery Bradley is on the list because he is a major defensive anchor, just like Roy Hibbert.

The only thing that sticks out to me is, where is Josh Smith? Why Russel Westbrook ???

Good for Marc Gasol, but I would vote Lebron James: Can defend every position, defensive anchor, knows where to be, blocks and steals.

From what I've heard, Josh Smith can be rather lazy at times on D.

well here is what lebrain dead had to say about the DPOY award.  He thought it should have been him and I think he comes off as immature in his comments.  I am trying not to hate lebron, I really am, but stuff like this....
