How come you guys are shocked?
I thought it would be a travesty if he DIDN'T get it.
Amare was his only real competition, and you can make way more of a case for Dwight.

Was really a no brainer in the end, more than deserved.

Because many of us thought writers would ride the hype Amare was getting after the Shaq trade (and he really did play great), even though it made no sense because Amare played his best basketball after that trade i.e. at PF. There was an ESPN columnist (Stein, I think) that published his ballot that way.
But it's great to hear they didn't fall for it.

wow, I am shocked he got the nod...
very nice...
you go boy!
Unless Raptor fans were the ones voting, Dwight had this won easily. I have no idea why you're shocked. Dwight and Amare's gap defensively is way too huge. Dwight was number 1 for centers when it came to opponent PER.

Boston players had kind of inflated opponent PER because of how great their defense as a whole is, but you should get some idea considering Amare is 3rd to last in the league and the two under him barely play.
