Lebron still annoyed about the 2013 DPOY voting.

He's had two 2nd place finishes for DPOY. Clearly he wanted one of them.

With that being said, defensive awards are pretty meaningless honestly.

So kobe making it on some defensive teams is a joke too, it seems.

That was a joke for sure.

I remember lebron did some historic things on defense in the playoffs against Indy and especially Parker in the finals.

I thought he was better defensively during the 2012 regular season, but what he did defensively in the '13 playoffs was very memorable, he was guarding EVERYONE.

By everyone, does that also involve his teammates bt? Lmao.

It is pretty inexplicable that not one but two centers would be voted over the DPOY on the All-Defensive Team

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'd have to assume that's the only time the DPOY didn't make All-Defensive First Team. Ditto the MVP not being All-NBA First Team.

I think Mutombo won it being on 2nd team as well html. https://www.basketball-reference.com...l_defense.html
David Robinson was 1st team that year.
