Kawhi Leonard is the DPOY

[sundizz]

and it isn't even that close.

He is the best man to man defender in the NBA + best off the ball disrupter + best hands + beast rebounder when necessary.

There is not a single weakness in his defensive game.

[keep-itreal]

He got torched by Kyrie Irving's 55 game

[Velocirap31]

Leading the league in steals now as well right? Blocks seem to be given preference for defensive awards, but I agree with you OP.

Kyrie goes off sometimes. Nothing anyone could do, he hits ridiculous shots when he's on.

so he's supposed to guard Lebron AND Kyrie at the same time?

[sd3035]

Kyrie is much harder for him to guard than Lebron

Who really would pick Kawhi Leonard over Anthony Davis as a defender.

[ABfor3]

Anthony Davis and it's not even close imo

[longhornfan1234]

Draymond
Duncan
Leonard
Bogut

[Tycriss]

136 steals for 116 PF

[Eric Cartman]

Kyrie is much harder to guard than Lebron

Fixed.

[AkronAngel]

so he's supposed to guard Lebron AND Kyrie at the same time?

If he is as great as people make him out to be, then yes.

[dubeta]

I'd vote for him but I remembered how LeBron destroyed him in the finals averaging 28 ppg on 70% TS, so either he's a garbage defender, or LeBron is the GOAT finals performer
