Howard was basically a unanimous DPOY at 105 first place votes lol.. Bron got 4 DPOY votes to Wade's 3 and Kobe's 2.

The top offensive production is scoring title and the best defense is dpoy or 1st team defense

^^^ who has more of these 2-way accolades? MJ or Lebron?

Lebron hasn't been all defense or MVP since 13' ,- that's 8 years in his prime with no 1st team defense or MVP

The biggest eye opener is the leagues behemoth depth at SF the past 15 seasons, that rarely ever gets brought up in discussion


The counterpart at his position isn't playoff rivals in Jeff Hornacek and John Starks. Naw, dude is going toe to toe nightly with guys like George, Leonard, Butler, Iggy, Durant, Pierce, etc etc


The depth at the SF position is simply way more impressive than say for example the frail shooting guards of the 90's. Making defensive and individual position awards much more extraordinary
