I'll just say, they seem bad in all the ways you'd predict. Not to say I'd assume player voting would suck, because reporters have weaknesses too, but yeah, these look pretty bad to me.


So uh, yeah, Deandre Jordan just won the player's top defensive player award.

This is exactly why I don't take a player's word for any "who's the best player" question seriously. It's like we actually have strong evidence that makes the "DeAndre DPOY" claims look laughable (such as the Clippers defensive collapse in the LAC/HOU series). It's just obvious that he's extremely overrated as a defender (is there a possibility that CP3 is actually the most impactful defender on the Clippers? I guess so).
