oh good... Nene will destroy this guy and embarrass him even further

[Fudge]

Well deserved. :applause:

Best C in the league.

Who do you think deserves it more this season?

[Jlamb47]

I think Noah deserves it

[tontoz]

Nice timing :lol

[AnaheimLakers24]

inb4 small dick cheat fans come in here saying there small dick colluding hero deserves it

[nightprowler10]

Nice timing :lol
Haha yeah, he was absent pretty much all game 1. I'm hoping it had to do with his head not all being there due to his personal loss, and not because he can't keep up with Nene. That'd be terrible for us.

[DuMa]

Who do you think deserves it more this season?

DeAndre but aint got no problems with Noah winning it.

[imdaman99]

He definitely deserves it... but that was a putrid showing by him getting embarrassed by Nene

[Im Still Ballin]

Well deserved. :applause:

Best C in the league.

what the hell.

where on earth did you find a duane gif for an avy.

mirin.

[russwest0]

Media trolling Pacers fans :lol

[SpecialQue]

Love this ugly mutherfvcker.

[9512]

Hopefully for joakim noah, it won't be like David Robinson in 1995 when he was given MVP w/ Hakeem destroying him :roll:

I could see potentially Noah getting dunked on crossed over etc...:roll:

[Genaro]

I liked Hibbert better but I have no problem with Noah winning it

[Dro]

Media trolling Pacers fans :lol
Hibbert probably would have gotten it if for not the epic meltdown of Roy and the Pacers...Having said that, I have no problem with Noah winning it...No Pacer deserves any kind of award at this point....

[SHABBA]

Good news :cheers:

[nightprowler10]

DeAndre but aint got no problems with Noah winning it.
Yeah DJ is the only one who had an argument this season IMO. His transformation from just a blocker to a proper defender has been huge for the clips.

[SCdac]

I'm cool with it. Noah plays defense as well as any big if not better. Still think last season's should have went to Tim Duncan not Gasol :mad: who's Grizzlies got owned by the Spurs

[BigTicket]

He deserved it :applause:

It will be interesting to see how Hibbert takes this news. Will it snap him out of his funk, or will he suck even worse ?

[ImKobe]

Hard to win DPOY when you stop playing defense after the All-Star Break.

[ralph_i_el]

Noah is a great player, but Nene is going to be pushing him around for the rest of this series

[pauk]

Deandre, Ibaka, Hibbert.... all deserved it a bit more i think... but Noah is not a bad choice either.

[ImKobe]

Deandre, Ibaka, Hibbert.... all deserved it a bit more i think... but Noah is not a bad choice either.

Hibbert? :oldlol:
He has a teammate, who is a better defender than him. I think his last name is George. Hibbert's defensive numbers post ASB are atrocious.

[Wavves]

Joakim Noah was the best defender this season, without question. Best all around defender at his own position.

Sure, other players might blocks more shots, but no other C in this league can defend the pick and roll like Noah can.

[nightprowler10]

Deandre, Ibaka, Hibbert.... all deserved it a bit more i think... but Noah is not a bad choice either.
DJ is the only one who gives him competition, even then it's tough to justify giving it to him over Noah IMO. Ibaka is overrated as a defender and Hibbert...lol.

Noah is the only C in the league right now who is so versatile as a defender.

[Tarik One]

Hard to win DPOY when you stop playing defense after the All-Star Break.
He's been subtly pointing the finger at Stephenson for ballhogging, but has been dismissive of the fact that he has been sulking on the defensive end for the past 3 months. Can't stand players/people like that.

[LongLiveTheKing]

At least it wasn't Hibbert

wat is this from some foster's home imaginary friends lmao

[LoneyROY7]

I'm fine with it as long as Roy "Verticality" Hibbert doesn't sniff the trophy.

[andremiller07]

He is easily the best this season and seriously for those making fun of him cause Nene destroyed him, please Nene would shit on any of those DPOY candidates when healthy playing aggressive and not being double teamed. There is no shame in being schooled by a skilled powerhouse it's just the way it goes.

I seen DJ/Hibbert and Ibaka in particular get raped non stop when having to defend one on one. Non of those guys have 1/2 the defensive IQ of Noah either.

We shall see. He needs to pick it up.

[Rocketswin2013]

Noah also took time to thank coach Tom Thibodeau conceding, "Without your system, this wouldn't be possible."


At least he knows Thibs is a better coach than he is a defender and Butler is also a better defender than him. Gibson is also lockdown and Hinrich is great too.


Overrated cuddled fraud who got PUNKED by Nene one on one last night.

Best defender in the NBA by far though......

:facepalm Cause Nene is not a superskilled, mobile and powerful PF/C hybrid who is easy to contain one on one right? Gibson got trashed to as would any big when Nene is playing the way he is. There is a reason team's have to doubled team

I'm just hating because Dwight is underrated on D and Noah is kind of overrated now. Just ignore me. Really more mad that we have McHale though, ****ing awful coach. :facepalm

[All Net]

Seems Steve kerr voted for lebron.

He needs to have his voting privileges removed.

How about Dwight man up and actually guard the oppositions best player instead of having that guy in your avater get raped relentlessly? It's easy to look good defending Lopez and Joel Freeland.

[andremiller07]

They fouled him out. on box outs and flops. Can't play D when refs rape you. And when he did LMA made fluke chuck shots. Dwight plays great D and IS a better defender than Noah.
lol

[qrich]

Jordan finishes third, same amount of #1 votes as Hibbert.

Love it.


Grats to Joakim though

[Dengness9]

Lopez is a serious flopper and even that Freeland call tah tthe NBA said was terrible literally, made Dwight foul out.

Dwight > Noah


Bulls will never lose a game over Noah going to the foul line. Now that Noah is a comparable to defender to Dwight....

Noah > Dwight

I wont even get into what Noah provides from a leadership standpoint compared to Dwight.

[The-Legend-24]

Bullshit, LeBron has been the best defensive player the last 4 years.

It's a fvcking disgrace when lesser players like MJ have one. :facepalm

[sketchy]

Should be Noah's second straight DPOY imo. Marc Gasol had no business getting it. Dude wasn't/isn't the best defender on his own team, haha.

[Trollsmasher]

confirms he is an idiot

[sketchy]

Perfect fit to coach the Knicks then. :D

Lebron deserved it last year (not this year) but anyways yea i at least would have been more happier if at least Noah (or Ibaka, Duncan) got it last year over Marc Gasol.

I agree. To me, it should've been Noah but would've been happy had it been any guy you listed over Gasol.

[Cold soul]

Well earned and deserved. Congrats to him!
