Can someone explain to me how MJ finished 2nd in DPOY voting in 1993?

[GOBB]

So you did confuse SRS with strength of schedule. A team with a lower SRS usually means they are just a worse team

The newest adds who got the most minutes were Kukoc and Kerr, far from defensive stoppers.

The other adds who you could say were defensive minded like Longley only played 27 games that year. Wennington played under 20 mpg.

Myers who replaced MJ was a strong defensive player, but was he the 2nd best defensive player in the league like MJ supposedly was in '93?

A team like the Spurs went from having the #3 defense in '96 with David Robinson to dead last the next season without him. Now that is defensive impact!

Again how does team defense negate individual defense? It doesn’t. MJ industrial defense in 93 was great. The Bulls team defense still being good doesn’t say otherwise.

What was the defensive rating before luc longley and when luc longley played?

You don’t have to be a defensive stopper to play better defense than the folks whose minutes you took. Kerr is a better defender than Paxson. None of these things matter in your world? Weird

If Steve Kerr and Luc Longley with only 27 games are supposed to make up for losing MJ on the defensive end then MJ probably shouldn't have finished 2nd in the DPOY voting the year before.

Should had won, he was voted #1 by the coaches.

Right it should’ve gone to Dennis Rodman whose Pistons def rating was ranked behind Bulls. Or Drov whose Spurs def rating was ranked behind the Bulls. They should’ve finished 2nd. Yea. Yep.

Rodman probably deserved more votes than MJ

Pistons had the #15 defense in '93, went to #26 the next season without him. And I'm not even a big Rodman fan.

And I just showed the Spurs were piss poor on defense without Robinson.

Post def rating of the Pistons and spurs in 93 vs 94

[GOBB]

Rodman only played 62gms. Had 48 steals and 45 blocks. MJ had higher totals. But we know steals and blocks alone doesn’t tell the whole story. So I’m lost. What did Rodman do defensively better than MJ in 93? I don’t know. I’d like to know.

Hello? Hello?

[Full Court]

Can OP explain why Lebron has been a net negative and a defensive statue for the last five years?

1993 Rodman did not lead the NBA in steals or blockshots.

Being a rebounding leader dont mean rebounding catagory is a defensive stat.

1993 Jordan actually lead the NBA in steals category!.

how do you give 1993 Rodman more votes when 1993 MJ is killing himself despite not having summer off and played whole 1992 summer olympics.

also, 1993 Pippen relaxed defensively big time. showing signs of olympics fatigue.
besides, Rodman already won 2 back-2-back DPOY awards already.

I can't flat out say Rodman had more defensive impact than MJ that year, even though some advanced stats might suggest he was, like having the same DRTG as MJ that year despite playing on a worse defensive team and how Detroit got much worse on defense the next year without him. Rodman was more of a 1 on 1 man defender, he wasn't getting steals, he was more like guys like Michael Cooper in that regard.

But I sure as hell know MJ didn't deserve to gather as many/more votes than guys like David Robinson & Ewing, two elite rim protecting bigs who elevated their defenses in ways MJ could never. Robinson had absolute zero defensive help and still had his team top 10 in defense, Ewing that year led a historic defensive team, one of the all-time great defensive teams to this day. 1 vote for him is a joke.

[1987_Lakers]

1993 Jordan actually lead the NBA in steals category!.

So did Iverson, 3 times, was never known as a defender.

Clyde Drexler is top 10 all-time in steals, never made All-Defense.

[GOBB]

so hypothetically if the 94 Bulls defense was awful without MJ. That would justify MJ 2nd place finish in 93 over Ewing, Drob and Rodman?

So outside of looking at Def rtg one year with and next year without. What other advance stats suggest Rodman was more impactful than MJ that year?

Also games played where Rodman played less doesn’t matter? Do you know what the Def rtg of the team was without Rodman that year?

Heck what advance stats show Drob was more impactful that year outside?

[Full Court]

Yo, OP. How's the damage control working out for you. Have you convinced anyone that LeShrivel is really the GOAT yet?

Yes. It would tell me MJ was very impactful on defense.

And I just gave it to you, individual DRTG in '93, Rodman had the same DRTG that year as Jordan despite playing on a worse defensive team.
