He deserved dpoy let's be honest

[@ryanmontague3377]

100% without him the Lakers overall D would look the defense played at the Westwood rec center on Sundays

[@EaglesFan202]

Fr nba so biased

[@grapesoda24]

Apparently you need other good defensive players on your team to actually get DPOY since it always goes to the top defensive team lol

[@MoneyManCam88]

He def deserved more votes I tell u that that , ima die hard laker fan so I def wanted him to win but wemby to me was the best defender all season shoulda won and AD shoulda been a close second , Rudy’s team has great defenders all over the voters missed big time KAT is a great defender McDaniels AntMan Mike Conley is a good defender that whole team was number for a reason I think Rudy got to much credit

[@sub4subbalkan653]

​@@grapesoda24yeah such a stupid criteria. Wolves are elite even without Gobert. With AD on there instead of him, they be better than they are (defensively only)

[@beedeepee9418]

Ima laker fan that watches the mass majority of games this was my favorite AD season since he been here happy af for him he deserve this

[@Natedawgggg300]

Over 19-20 ??? How 😂😂😂

[@beedeepee9418]

@@Natedawgggg300 maybe it’s the doubt from everyone plus how many games he played this year I love a ring but individually love what he did this season

[@everythinglakers1713]

@@Natedawgggg300 he arguably had a better season. Aside from the shooting, he's significantly better at rebounding, defensively, passing, and finishing with force around the rim than 19-20 by far. He truly was the best two way player in the league this season compared to 19-20

[@NbaLive4ever]

FINALLY some recognition!

[@proudiliganon7345]

The real DPOY AD 🔥

[@dariusjohnson9429]

He deserved DPOY especially with the the amount of games he played. AD it was a joy to watch you play this year. The toughness and consistency, wow!!

[@lorenzoanderson7985]

Yessir AD give my bro sum respect he will keep it going 💯 💪

[@adminavatar]

After watching this, I realized that we have taken him for granted. With so many negative media narratives, we overlooked how impactful AD really is on both ends. Our team is not terrible, we just ran into a bad matchup in this year's playoffs. I mean we were in every game against the nuggets. We didn't have Vando pretty much all year. And it doesn't help that we had an incompetent coach. I'm not trying to make any excuse, but we just need to bolster our roster with reliable center and big athletic wings that can defend as well as shooting the 3. I still like our chances next year if it all pans out this summer.

[@cobs9420]

Agreed unfortunately we had an incompetent/inconsistent Front Office which lacks a vision/direction. They keep flip flopping over the superb 2 way players vs 3 star /Big 3 concept. They have to stick to one direction if we want consistent team chemistry and cohesiveness. Ham was incompetent but acquiring a star along side Bron & AD have my doubts. They should focus on acquiring a 2 way big to partner with AD get a solid PG like CP3 to mentor Reaves/DLo . And surround with 2 way wing players with size/length

[@sub4subbalkan653]

Media are trash, im surprised they even voted for him. They pick up a narrative and all of them ride it forever

[@2LeBron3]

I hope Lakers should consider Rajon Rondo as there next Head Coach.. Remember He play against Lebron & AD and he know how to use both of them...His IQ & basketball experience can be a great help for the lakers..

[@JuaquinTheDream24]

Best AD season so far! As a Laker at least.. but I really believe having AD play the 4 at times would benefit him and us

[@WattsRaider]

AD is our future. We gave up so much to get him. Hes actually played well since that injury riddled season. This team needs to be built around him not LeBron respectfully.

[@anonymous-bm4yh]

No lebron= no AD, glad that kor4pist is gone, u korapist fans toxic asf man

[@706Kel]

U right. AD is the 🔑

[@AKB48LAKERS128]

I just so glad we found a perfect guy to help LeBron in his late career,play phenomenal bothfense especially d every night!THANK FOR COMING TO LA AD!💜💛

[@2kolbe010]

Challenging AD in the paint is not a good idea. Even though our defensive scheme was shite, he was still able to pick up the slack from his teammates.

[@Pharez85]

Not just tje blocks but, saving the ball as well 👌🏽

[@selwynandrews7716]

SHOULDA BEEN DPOY!!!! (FOR AT LEAST THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME)

[@jordanb8164]

AD deserves DPOY for sure this year because he averaged 2.2 blocks, 1.2 steals, and on top of that averaged 9.5 defensive rebounds

[@benc4968]

How is there no audio for arguably a top three defensive moment not just for AD, but the entire nba season? 2:47 is a spectacular display of timing/skill

[@SuMBuDDe42oE]

All blocks on all current league STARS. Yet AD can’t get a DPOY????

[@gangadharpucha2319]

Defensive monster

[@patricioarnold4647]

MY DPOY

[@Tim_Dunkin]

Those fams calling for AD to be traded are simply foolish. You don't trade a player like him ESPECIALLY in the west. He's a top 5 center depending on the stretch he's having top 3 & he's playing out of position

[@mitchan414]

The REAL Defensive Player Of The Year!

[@Henry-fn1zw]

my dpoy

[@craigosterberg5045]

Well deserved

[@StanleyFirmin]

1ST TEAM ALL DEFENSE 💜💛

[@SSJRome]

WELL deserved … now get this man some help defensively on the perimeter like gobert has and we’re in business

[@NbaLive4ever]

We did have one but he was injured most of the year 🤦🏽‍♂️ (Vando) and Gabe wasn’t too shabby either (injured as well)

[@itisnottaken4444]

This is actual defensive impact but they still want to crown Gobert despite him not being able to do half of what AD does.

[@AkAGoLakers]

Woop

[@robertwilliams-np6wb]

Two defensive plays I remember. Murray shot over Ad to win game 2. Murray shot over Reaves in game 5, when AD should have switched.

[@marinoevardo2581]

Besides from AD and Vincent there's none of the players from the lakers roster playing against the nuggets who played elite defense🤦

[@Lemsgaming.69]

if he had a good center with him and 3 and D players we couldve won against the nuggets...he was exhausted doing everything on defense all the laker guards get beat on the perimeter all the time and he had to go toe to toe with the joker...clearly Ham doesnt know how to fully maximize AD's talents

[@pinoypapapizza]

Only shows how bad Darvin Ham was as HC......We should have beaten Denver this year.

[@AmazingJay909]

AD deserves DPOY.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Davis Bertans >🤫

[@jorgejrhernandez9587]

🇺🇲👑 Bronny James JR 👑🇺🇲

[@dmitriyshcholokov3526]

Imo he's defensively over Gobert and two-ways over Giannis. Probably the best big man of last 5-10 years. And over Embiid because he's a better teammate. Jokic is obviously better offensive player ) and no where near defensively

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Davis > Edwards🎉

[@dwade833]

Are you kidding me youtubeeee Where is the koments????????????????????????

Robbed of DPOY

He Should’ve won dpoy rudy gobert is a fraud😂
