This is a bad take, the guys been first team multiple years. Its not like he hasnt been one of the best defenders for years now.

Leaving it up to the media to vote for these awards and all-nba teams is just garbage. Let the coaches and players decide who among their peers is deserving of the acclimades.

How is it a bad take? Tatum is unquestionably a better defender THIS season. DPOY is not a career award. A guy winning DPOY for the entire league when there's better defenders on his own team is all time awful.

I wasn’t aware that KD spoke for everyone else.
When the best offensive player is asking one of the all time greats how he would go up against a peer, I think that speaks volumes. Players know much more than us or the garbage media.
and the 37 other voters who made him a first-place selection. Some of y’all just like to talk to talk. LmaoBig J wrote:This is just turrible. The only people who actually agree with this choice are Celts fans.
