LeBron on DPOY: "To be honest, I feel I've been snubbed two years in a row now..."

[leMVP]

That 2012 one was his to win.

[SamuraiSWISH]

2012 was the only year a case could be made.

[zoom17]

Big ego from the second best player in the league

[Solefade]

Realistically, he got robbed twice, in '09 and '12.

was definitely robbed in '09 for sure, '12 was debatable

[Jameerthefear]

He's never been snubbed. There has always been better defenders.

[aj1987]

He had a good case in in 2012 but not so much last season.

The only reason why he would even have a chance for DPOY was because there weren't too many deserving candidates and LeBron was incredible during the streak.

[Legends66NBA7]

No, he's never been snubbed. He's always been in the Top of the voting, regardless.

I could see 12, though. And Duncan should have won last year. Hibbert will win this year. I never saw the case for 09, really.

[HomieWeMajor]

He was also snubbed on ROY the past 3 seasons. Damn voters fatigue.

[Illuminati]

He's never been snubbed. There has always been better defenders.

In 2012:
Tyson Chandler's Dtrg: 99 (he won DPOY)
LeBron's Dtrg: 97

I know Dtrg doesn't tell the whole story, but it's the closest stat we got.

[MavsSuperFan]

lebron stat padding and award lobbying.

[red1]

looks like even lebron is falling for his espn hype

[Twiens]

The **** is wrong with this guy?

[Warfan]

The only reason why he would even have a chance for DPOY was because there weren't too many deserving candidates and LeBron was incredible during the streak.

Yeah he was. I felt that Noah or Duncan should've won it tbh.

[Jameerthefear]

In 2012:
Tyson Chandler's Dtrg: 99 (he won DPOY)
LeBron's Dtrg: 97

I know Dtrg doesn't tell the whole story, but it's the closest stat we got.

how is that even calculated? tyson chandler was the better defender. it's why he won. centers make more of an impact defensively. dwight was a better defender too.
