Crazy that Timmy has 0 DPOYs on his mantle.

Should have multiple.

Still top 2 at age 39 - amazing. It's a disgrace he has no DPOY.

...not really. Look at all the guys who won it during his best years...they pretty much all deserved. Duncan wasn't even a better defensive player than Robinson was till 2002 so he wasn't going to win it his first four seasons. Then Ben Wallace came along and easily deserved everyone he got...Garnett...Howard. Duncan really doesn't have any all time great PEAK SEASONS like those guys...he's like Ewing in that he's always been consistently great, but never super dominant like a Hakeem or Robinson.

I'd disagree with that, imo Duncan's '03 season is one the greatest of all time

Here's how the all-time great perimeter players do by this metric

Bird - 6

Jordan - 4

Lebron - 2

Kobe - 0

Magic - 0

For Smoke117, only athleticism and capabilities matter. He doesn't care about spacing, being smart or frequency of leaving of the floor.

Yep. Camby with the swats but much less impact - Denver middle of the pack defensively. Spurs near the top.

Its a team based stat, and is useful to compare players within the team, but cant be compared cross-team.

Basketball is team sport .
