Sucks he missed so many games, or he'd be locked for DPOY

you would be happy to know that people who use these have all type of filters like "minutes played"
you are as retarded as charles barkley who think that people who use analytics don't watch the games and just focus on one stat when they use many to form a complete picture.
also, most analytics teams don't use defensive rating as there are no defensive stats that truly tell you how good or bad a defender is. you have to go into advanced stats and look at the points scored against that player and on what type of shots.

Yeah DRTG is already a severely flawed stat (unless you believe the 60s-70s were BY FAR the GOAT defensive era) but individual DRTG is completely useless (again, unless you consider Manu Ginobli a top 5 all time great defender).

i agree but it is funny to see you say that given that you use FTr which is just as flawed.

How is it possible Duncan never won DPOY? Way too much emphasis on blocks for this award. He was so much better than Dwight yet never won.

I think it is very intuitive of how good a defender is. No surprise that KG led in 08 and 12 and the years between DH12 was the leader.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

He pretty much is Pippen minus the pointguard ability.

[LoneyROY7]

Marcus Camby the GOAT.

You're delusional. Dwight Howard literally gets people to not attack the paint at all.

You could have went after alot of players. But Dwight Howard? GTFO.

No need to let Lebron's garbage time points in blowout losses sink in. Getting blown out by 20+ two games straight on your home floor, booed by your crowd, and the "fans" leaving mid-way through the 4th qtr is nothing to crow about.

explain. post his points in garbage time. go ahead. almost all of his points came in first 3 quarters in all games when games were still winnable. only this forum treats this as fact when it is the opposite of a fact.
