Dwight Howard finished 14th in Defensive Player of the Year, a shocking result for a player who won the award in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Howard returned early from back surgery and also played through a torn labrum in his shoulder.

"That's funny," he said. "That's OK. We've got next year and I've got a long time. But this year is funny.

"I didn't vote so I don't know what to do about it. But it's OK. I think everybody knows why I didn't win or why I didn't get any votes."

Marc Gasol won the award, beating out LeBron James and Serge Ibaka.

I'm surprised he knows the reason considering his amazing lack of self-awareness.

What exactly is Dwight hinting at?

It is because he is black.

Yes, we do all know! The reason is that Howard was the 14th best defensive player in the NBA. Congratulations Dwight.
