Lebron is DPOY!!!(espn)

[LA_Showtime]

I wholeheartedly agree with ESPN. Did you guys see how LeBron shutdown in the Finals? Only God could put up a similar performance.

[arifgokcen]

Yeah, he's amazing with his ability to guard the hell out of 1-4 positions. But still.. Deng, Howard and Iggy.. hard to beat these guys.

Howard won 3 straight DPOY awards and orlando isnt very good defensively this year.

Iggy man to man defense is slightly better than lebron however thats it.Lebron rebounds block and steals more.He is most versatile defender in the game and he is the better help defender among two

As for deng,can you please offer some kind of explanation how he is better.His man to man defense is not better.Against athletic and big SF's he struggles. His other aspects of defense is not even close to lebron's

[Bladers]

Lebron vs Durant defensive stats. Again the top is Lebron and the Bottom is Durant. One thing to watch is the FG% and the Points per play allowed.

Lebron ranks 195 in defense.

195, while Durant ranks 97. How can a guy ranking 195 in defense have so much hype? Its ridiculous!

That's what happens when you have just one dominant sports media outlet. They create their own bullshyt to create their agenda.

lebron gets so much credit for guarding players out of his position for a couple minutes at a time. when he does good people go crazy (rose) when he does bad no one notices (john lucas, jason terry)

Are you seriously? guys like deng and iggy actually check the opp's best player from the PG postion to the SG positon to the SF position and sometimes the PF.

FOR THE ENTIRE GAME!

Not for once or two possesions with 60 secs left in the game.
This is so BULLSHIT!!

ESPN ranks LeBron James the Defensive Player of the Year. Monstrous athlete who now derives sick pleasure from shutting players down. #DPOY

Wow, he doesn't shut ANYONE down from him own position. That's why he's ranked 195.

Nor does he guard the opp's best player for the duration of the game. Defense is supposed to comprise of 48 mins, but ESPN would have you to believe because of their agenda that its comprised of 48 secs.

since when is john lucas scoring one crazy fadeaway on lebron bad defense? he played perfect defense on him.

First the All NBA teams went to shit. Now the awards are too.

Save us, Stern!

this

when kobe kept making all defense well past his defensive prime, the credibility of the awards were gone.

So what the hell are you laughing at? Do you realize how ignorant you look by just throwing out a smiley? Grow a brain and contribute to the forum, or GTFO.

Lebron is a better defender than Deng and Iguodala.

[Pointguard]

To be honest if not Lebron who? DH is going to get some negative feedback for what went down and their defense isn't the same. If the Knicks win every game from here on out then Tyson Chandler could get it - that's a humongous if. If Chicago has the best record, and that's slightly in their favor, they could reward Noah with it. I know I am overlooking somebody but I don't see a lot of people in it. DH is still the front runner but politics might get in the way.
