Cleveland Cavaliers FAKE END OF SEASON Awards w/ Tony Pesta
Показать описание
The Cleveland Cavaliers finished the season with a 64-16 record and the #1 seed in the East, so it's time to hand out some hardware.
We're not talking DPOY or Coach Of The Year -- these are fake awards from the brains of McNuggets & Tony Pesta.
Evan Mobley has been the best defensive player in the NBA this season not named Victor Wembanyama. He may not be the loudest player on the court, but the stats back up the tape.
Draymond Green has started a social media campaign to drive his narrative, but it simply isn't true. Let's take a dive into the numbers to see why the DPOY this year should be Evan Mobley and not Draymond Green.
The NBA has a strange way of determining the winners of their award races.
It seems like the NFL and MLB usually give their awards to the best players, but for basketball these selections feel a lot more narrative driven.
An example of this is last season when Victor Wembanyama averaged nearly four blocks and 1.2 steals per game.
Among fans, it was a no-brainer that the Frenchman should be named the Defensive Player of the Year, but because there is a stigma about rookies getting accolades, the award was given to Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert.
Something similar is happening this year with Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley and Golden State Warriors legend Draymond Green.
When Wembanyama was ruled out for the season with a blood clot, Mobley’s odds to win Defensive Player of the Year shot up.
It was no surprise when you consider that he’s been anchoring a top five defense for the entire season.
They’ve already discussed a plan with center Jarrett Allen to get him some rest, so Mobley’s regular season may be coming to a close.
With minimal opportunities remaining to make an impression on voters, the fourth-year big man sat down for a conversation with NBA analyst Brian Windhorst where they discussed the award race.
Mobley said he thinks, “I definitely deserve this award,” before explaining the impact he has on the defensive end.
