The best defender I ever seen was prime Pippen, but I agree Bron deserved it more than Chandler this year and has vastly improved..
LeBron got robbed for DPOY

It's a good question and all I could think is Bosh would not let him guard Dirk even though he was getting cooked.
Plus I think T Mac is taller than the 6'8 he listed at. You see him on the court and he towers over everybody on the perimeter like Perry Jones.
jk right in time just for the lebron hate
you probably never played ball before
but a guy that can guard 4 different positions>>>>>>>>one position
The Knicks were a horrible defensive team last year and Chandler basically took them from 22nd in defensive rating to 5th in defensive rating. That's crazy.
OKC blocked the most shots since Mutombo's Nuggets in '94 mostly because of Ibaka.
LeBron is a good defensive player and is a big reason why Miami can fly around the court and disrupt teams. But, he's not DPOY.

At this point, sure. Better than '00-'03 Kobe? Don't know....

You can't use defensive rating and just ignore the fact the Heat are better than the Knicks, regardless of the improvement the Knicks may have had the Heat are still better defensively. Also, LeBron's own defensive rating was better than Tysons, so using stats to justify Tyson over LeBron is kind of silly.
Ibaka blocked a lot of shots, but he wasn't better defensively than LeBron, excellent shotblocker but who did he shut down? Why were the Thunder only 11th in defensive rating?

Take Lebron off the heat...are they still a good defensive team?

They wouldn't be top 5.
I also don't think that's an accurate way to gauge things, the Mavs last year were 8th defensively, this year they were 8th. Does that mean Tyson isn't a good defender, his team didn't get appreciably worse defensively, even though they lost the DPOY.
Hey, I'm just giving my reasons. I just looked up the voting and it went...
That sounds right to me. It's extremely hard for a perimeter player to have enough clout to win DPOY unless they're on some other shyt like Artest and young MJ.
- Chandler
- Ibaka
- Dwight
- LeBron
