This is such a fucking joke. Bam and a rookie on a 22 win team are finalists over AD? Fuck this media narrative driven bullshit.
agnah00
I don’t know how they can look at our defense in non-AD minutes and say he’s not this team’s entire defensive presence haha
Consistent_Owl4593
He is never in life going to win a DPOY award if he couldn’t do it this season. Media doesn’t respect him and I’m not sure why
river0f
These awards have been just popularity contests for a while
theshortone520
They’ll give it to gobert and he will get played off the floor again these playoffs. Media is a joke
Adam2190
It’s actually a fucking joke. AD is better than both Bam and Wemby and we have a better record.

He never will bro. Not as a Laker, which is a shame.
kronos9797
How is Rudy being considered time and again for this award when year after year he gets played off the floor during playoffs man 😭
_The_Honored_One_
AD falls into the same boat as Luka. Too good too fast so everyone is like “oh we don’t need to give it to him this year, he will have heaps in the future” and then a new shiny toy shows up each year that the media becomes obsessed with. Next thing you know they are in their 30’s and reaching the end of their prime

His defensive numbers are bad since he has to cover for everyone else on the perimeter while protecting the paint only for our dumb scheme to give up a wide open corner 3. We had the #1 defense with kcp caruso and vogel. AD is Atlas holding up this defense by himself.

This what happens when we let old white dudes who never played vote on these awards

Fucking clowns. Travesty that Anthony Davis will never win a DPOY in his career when he should have at least 3. He has been one of the best and most consistent defenders in the entire league. Our team’s defense relies so much on him, not to mention the load he carries on offense. AD is arguably the best two-way player in the league. I hate the dumbass narratives man.
rfguevar
This was probably his best chance to win it, fucking pathetic he isn’t even a finalist.

Wemby ? This must be a joke. 22 win team.
Tall_Succotash
The media hate AD..they resent him leaving NOLA.
It’s a joke how they come up with this award, does the team record matter or is it stats?

Bam – 19/10 , 1 block , 71 games
AD, 25/12 , 2 blocks , 76 games
What Is this disgrace lmao

Fuck it. Whatever.
Still has more rings.than they all do combined.
incredibleamadeuscho
Leaving him off is not really about the win-loss record too, because the Heat and obviously the Spurs have worse records than us
OniionKnight
Bam being there instead of AD just invalidates the whole dpoy this year. What a joke.

The disrespect continues lmaooo

JJJ last year and Bam as a finalist this year. The DPOY is a joke.

How is bam on this list lol

wtf does he need to do?
Ashamed_Ad1839
Bam? Really
runninthruthe818
How tf is Bam there over AD? What is this bro?
Helpful_Classroom204
Bam over AD???
TheWestRemembers
Heat have a worse record than the Lakers and Bam missed more time. What the actual fuck. How could you be the best defensive player in the league and your team ain’t even .500 bro. Jesus.
Lalalacityofstars
Lebron lost to Marc who didn’t make first team defence that year
niknokseyer
Wow. Some BS right there.
DonkeyKongah
Maybe it’s Vegas? Pull the rug on bettors and end up being AD?
jobeeeeeeem
So much disrepect Bam over AD
PawsomePurrson
So they picked Bam over AD ?

slimsadie83
Gobert is not even a good defender tf 😂
heshouldgo
He’s not going to ever win one sadly
Miserable-Lawyer-233
That was kind of predictable. The headlines about the Lakers defense have been too negative this season. And when the Lakers were winning the most, after the trade deadline, it was because their offense shot up the rankings into the elite, while the defense was mid.
Glockx8732
AD is hands down the best defender in the NBA, this is a joke
Munk45
Wemby will dominate the next decade but AD deserves to be 1 or 2 on this list

Unbelievable.
