The selection of Marc Gasol as the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year left some scratching their heads in confusion. Los Angeles Lakers C and 3 time Defensive Player of the Year (09-11) Dwight Howard recently shared who he thought deserved the honor.
"I think (Oklahoma City's) Serge Ibaka, with all the stuff he did this year, I think he should have been the guy to win it this year and last year," Howard said. "The stuff he's done on the defensive end, I thought he was the clear-cut winner, but people saw it other ways....He led the league in blocks. That's what defense is all about."
"We've got next year and I've got a long time. But this year is funny."
come next year d12 is gonna own this award again. dude been playin great ball since the break. the focus and the intensity has been on another level since the GOAT went down. this nigga is serious, i like it
ReplyDeleteHe won't win it if Kobe is playing. He's been beasting on defense bc he happy on offense. We know Kobe ain't having all the fumbles in the paint and shots off the other end of the backboard. I'm rooting for my boy though...hopefully on another team.
Deleteor because hes healthier? he didnt look that happy lastnite. im sure if kobe was playing we would atleast b tied up n the series. i mean if him getting his shots makes him more happier than winning then wat does that say about your boy?
DeleteYeah he will own it next year but he won't be on yo team dumb ass. Did this dumb ass say defense is all about blocking shots? What the fuck?!!! I like players that dont got to block shots because the person they are guarding can't get a shot off.
DeleteLmfao^^ how DUMB are you???? Blocking a shot is preventing a person to get a shot off smh dumb heat fans... Only thing they know about basketball is that "lebron good"
DeleteMikemigady
Where do all u dumb mf come from? This shit ain't got anything to do with the heat. Have u ever played ball b4. If ur d is tight they can't even get a shot off to block ask Gary Payton.
Deleteso shot blocking means less??? the only thing i understand about that logic is that your smokin lb's dick. and if u dont want the heat brought up then dont maybe u should stay n your lain and stick to cheerleading stop talkin about shit u dont have a clue about
DeleteShut yo dumb ass up! Half the shit u say makes no sense & the other half is just hate.
DeleteBlocking shots is a sign of defense for a big bc you also have to factor in altering shots. And that's against every position...part of protecting the paint. So I understand why he said that since a 5 won. But Preach we all know D12 is mentally weak.
Delete^^another reason why i dont care if hes a laker or not. d12 is a luxury, not a must have....atleast we havent seen it yet
DeleteStephen A. Smith said lebron was robbed and I second that opinion lebron got second because the nba didn't want to give lebron mvp and dpoy in the same year
ReplyDeletestephen a. couldnt even say that with a straight face....probably cause he got lb dick so far up his ass like mhp
Deleteand d12 a great defensive player but dont matter to me dumbass
I kinda agree that blocking shots isn't everything. I think initially preventing offense from setting up or happening is better than a blocked shot. They just don't have a stat for it. I even think steals is a better stat than blocked shots. They need to give it to someone for forcing the most turnovers. Most blocks go out of bounds under the hoop.
ReplyDeletebut still its all about protecting the paint. when guys r running players off multiple screens its kinda hard to keep them n front of u.
DeleteThat's what I mean. It is harder to do so the guys in the paint know someone is going to try and come in. If the guys in the backcourt can force turnovers and mistakes then they're doing one hell of a job.
DeleteSerge can block anybody and I mean anybody in the league so why he didn't win it is so confusing ... But as a magic fan I can say when Dwight is health he will dominate on the defensive end once again which is the reason why he wins the defensive player of the year award.
