If he won the DPOY that’s easily top 3 seasons of all time. Hakeem’s 94 might be the singular best season ever

[Gabriel-shms]

I honestly think Lebron deserved DPOY in 2012 over Chandler. Led the league in Defensive Box Plus Minus, 2nd in Defensive Win Shares, (Chandler was not no.1), 8th in Defensive Rating (higher than Chandler. His team was 4th in defensive rating whilst the Knicks were 5th. Those are pretty much every single defensive stat that exists and Lebron was higher than Chandler in all of them. If Gasol deserved in 2012 because of his numbers than Lebron deserved it in 2012 for his numbers. Numbers were the reason why Giannis won it in 2020 over Davis after all

People underrate LeBron's defensive ability nowadays. What made him insane on that end was the ability to guard all 5 positions.

This is true for Jokic. Voter fatigue is a very real thing in the NBA

This is why I pick Lebron, he faced a LOT of preassure from almost everyone, but still delivered...

Prime LeBron was certified diamond.
A joy to watch!

If I remember correctly, Grizzlies defensive scheme was to defend the opposing players and drive them towards Gasol. Thus, Marc was quite the anchor on his team and his defensive value derived not from him blocking or stealing balls, but rather by contesting shots, where his bulky 7 foot frame body was quite good at

1 vote to Carmelo and he lost dpoy to the nikka who was second team when bron was first you literally can’t make this up
I still gone say this one of the best seasons of all time.

Miami lebron is the most complete basketball player ever

[infinitymixtapes]

People forget that season was right after winning MVP, Finals MVP, and a gold medal at the Olympics

[o.o.o.o.o]

"His importance to the New York Knicks" is the most disgusting argument in existence and I hate that people consistently make this argument when it comes to MVP voting. Lebron James unquestionably had a better season and probably would've been more valuable to the Knicks than Melo had he been on them. Punishing him for having a good team is so dumb

[mash]

All-time leading scorer, with over 39, 000 pts, and counting, will finish top three in assists, four championships, including one against the regular season win record holder. Probably the greatest player ever. I know I’ll never see anyone break his record.

Didn’t Giannis won MVP and DPOY the same season too?

[Jay_FS]

2013 Bron was the most exciting version of defense I can personally remember.

Media voting is still leaps better than voting by fans, players, and even coaches. Have you seen who the players voted for in awards? Thats right, their own teammates. When media gets it wrong it’s not as egregious as the other three.

[awesomereviews]

No, he didn’t deserve it at all. Here are the advance stats. For LBJ: Defensive rating 49th, Defensive Win/Share 8th, Defensive Box Plus Minus 5th. Now for Gasol: dRtg 5th, D W/S 2nd, DBPM 1st. That wasn’t even close.

[ParamoreFAV]

There’s no way the NBA doesn’t hate this man. There’s no way they gave that to Gasol

[ooh]

Highest game score of all time is Jordan in many seasons. He blows everybody out of the water. I think that’s the most accurate way to determine a dominant season over just awards.

[jayk]

Gasol was robbed of 1st all defensive team, not the other way around.

1:52 “Look at Kidd staying in front of him” as if Shawn Marion and Dirk aren’t standing right there 🤣😂🤣🤣
