    Maybe this is the reason Draymond and Kerr didn't win...

    How often is the MVP coached by the coach of the year w/ the DPOY standing in along side?

    Good call but was the MVP race this close?

    Stats never tell the hole story. Peopple usually forget that the spurs crushed the heat that year, and most of lebron points came when they where meaningless...
    If u actually watched the series u would know kwahi played great defense on the best player on the planet. Of course you are not going to leave lebron on 10 points on a finals game... especially with wade and bosh playing like crap. But kwahi make him work for everything he got. I think paul george also played lebron really good a few years back and still got scored a lot.
    I think kwahi deserved the award.

    When are the results of the Players Association's Players Choice Awards coming out. I really want a comparison of the players' vote vs. the media members' vote.

    I honestly thought Davis deserved it the most.

    Makes no sense. All those years when the spurs were dominant defensively and Duncan never won a dpoy. How can that possibly happen?

    So if you're not hurt, you weren't playing defense? :grin:

    What he gets for being a jerk.

    A lot of people hate him and thus left him out of their ballot out of spite.

    Weird. Well, I guess big guys are pretty injured this year. I don't mind Kawhi or Green, but it's just so rare for little guys to get it, and they aren't the best I've seen.

    Yes, MVP was even closer than this year. You could make a great case for CWebb, Duncan, Shaq that year.

    Duncan got snubbed as DPOY that year, though, as he did some other years. It's crazy that he doesn't even have a single DPOY.

    That said, to add to this, the Iverson team only barely qualifies, since the DPOY was with the team for only 26 regular season games. Overall that team was far less talented and far worse built than these Warriors.
