He could be the favorite but he's not 100% going to win it.

Of course not. But if Spurs advance deep in the playoffs, and Wemby even just duplicates what he did last regular season, he wins it.

Bam seems to be coming off like a bigtime hater.

IIRC, Bowen came close a few times (the runner-up).

I guess Timmy and Bowen both kinda 'steal' each other votes, inevitably...

Congrats to Victor on winning DPOY award.
Well deserved, but we already know he should have 2 or possibly even 3 of them if they had to guts to vote for him in his rookie year. Spurs defense was trash his rookie year without him on the court, but when he was on the court it took a huge leap.

As for TD and Bruce, the NBA seems to like passing awards around, so IMO, what you say is true, but it should have been passed between TD and Bruce those years. Bruce should have at least two and TD three or more. TD during his career was one of the best defensive players/anchors ever.

I mean, no offense, but if that scrub (I shouldn't call him a scrub, but I am mad about it still) Marcus Camby won one year and couldn't even spend hardly one minute in the playoffs guarding TD in their first round matchup (they had to get Nene to spend the majority of minutes guarding TD), what a joke that was for him to win it over TD.

Nike started off the Vic marketing well, but has basically done nothing since his rookie season. He should have a shoe by now

They say bigmen don't really sell shoes. I don't know, what do you guys think? I don't know, what do you guys think? Vic seems to be someone that can sell them because of his actual game. Even though he's tall, shorter guys can still relate to his game.

Does anyone know if Giannis' shoes sold well? He's also another guy that I would think could sell some shoes.

Duncan being a top 5 defensive player of all time and not having a DPOY is a hilarious joke and shows how little anyone should value the media’s opinion on anything basketball related.

Yeah, I still get mad about this thinking about it now. A few people bringing it up has stirred up some old emotions. That year Camby won it, but couldn't guard TD in the playoffs for barely a minute is one that sticks out to me.

A while back I read his contract with Nike is up this or the next year and that they don't want to commit to giving him a signature shoe until he extends it.
