Another thing to remember is that Jordan didn't just win DPOY- he won it as a guard. Only five guards have ever done it, with the position being almost exclusively given to forwards and centers. That's the value MJ brought on defense while leading the league in scoring.

[@jacobtaylor508]

The voting for DPOY award and All-Defensive honors that year is probably one of the strangest ones ever. The reason Gasol ended up on the 2nd team was because for some reason the coaches decided to vote and put 6 guys on the first team (the only time that has ever happened in NBA history). Also, the voting for that was super thin too (two guys on the first team barely made it there by 2 votes) and Gasol came a vote away from not making either team. I have zero idea why on Earth the votes were sooooo spread out that year.

[@boombastic108]

No defense played in Lebronze's career can ever be called "elite." That's a slap in the nuts to real, actual defenders. The only defense I've ever seen him play is a chasedown once a year. Of course, then he had to rest for 3 games after that, but still...

Yeah at age 34, the season Kobe tore his achilles, he was defending all the elite point guards. There's that segment of MJ talking about it and how ludacris is was, how Kobe is willing to go to the extreme, and he's just as cursed as Mj when it comes to that. It's great to play 21 years at a high level as Lebron has, but he's not playing defense like Kobe or MJ did. That's a major factor that separates them.

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

I remember, he was guarding Kyrie and blocked his shot and he also locked up Russell Westbrook.

[@tmoney360]

When one of the biggest parts of your argument invokes the phrase "when he wants to he/when he gives the effort" you've lost the argument. Basketball is a two way sport and you're not supposed to play elite defense "when you feel like it." You're not going to always succeed even when you do but the point is you were trying.

[@skap_attack]

GREAT POINT here. As that is a HUGE phrase thrown around when discussing Lebron’s defensive prowess. “When he wants to” 😂. Because as we know, he has to “save himself” for the other end. Pretty sure both Jordan and Kobe had higher career usage rates than Lebron. They didn’t save themselves tho.

[@tmoney360]

And the thing is if this was a new phenomenon i'd be more sympathetic to the argument that he has to pick his spots to conserve energy. He is almost 40 and has played 21 seasons. But it's only recently has his age become a more reasonable excuse. His lack of effort goes all the way back to his second stint in Cleveland. He hasn't made ANY defensive teams since he was with the Heat. Not one. We have compilations of him standing on the other side of the court watching his teammates play 4 v 5 at the age of 30. If you go 100% some times, 50% most times and 0% at many spots the net result is a bad defender. You play poor/lazy defense more than great.

LeBron had the physical attributes to be defensive player of the year especially in his prime but it simply wasn’t important enough. I his own words there were times when his mind “went blank”. Not to mention the many times he just stands there.

[@skap_attack]

He doesn’t have the competitive drive or the desire to compete at that end at a high enough level to be considered an elite defender. Let alone to be thought of as the best defender for a season.

In LeBrons last season with Miami at age 28-29 LeBron played 77 games and had a total of 26 blocked shots. Jeremy Linn had more than him. In comparison to Michael Jordans age 28-29 season mj had 30 blocked shots in a 16 game stretch. And isn't LeBron supposed to be bigger faster stronger.

Speaking of stat padding LeBron's accolades...The Lakers keep getting 20 plus more free throws than their opponents so the Lakers can win by 5 or 10 points and keep them heading to the playoffs...It's so ridiculously obvious that it's being skewed that way on purpose because the Lakers would be at maybe 40-43% win percentage and on the outside looking in. And LeBron would be ballistic....He's a total stat padder, doesn't play defense so he can snag rebounds and conserve his energy and he travels long stretches of the floor and double dribbles too plus he has the most career turnovers ever and that stat isn't even close! He has longevity, yeah but he isn't as great of an unstoppable force as he is portrayed to be. Shaq, Kobe and even Iverson were feared more. His defense is a joke.

[@roboninja3194]

The year Mike won DPOY he averaged 3.2 steals per game and 1.6 blocks per game. Lebron has never come close to those numbers in any of his 21 seasons. It took Lebron 17 seasons to pass Mike in total career blocks and in 21 seasons he still hasn't passed him in career steals.

He hasn't played in an era that fast with perimeter players that limited offensively, but we're talking basketball, and we know that isn't your strong suit.

[@tyrantmaou1730]

Im pretty sure he plays elite defence on his own team since he prevents them from getting in rhythm offensively.

[@labynoe]

So LeBron “defends 1 through 5”, eh? Then he should have shut down Dirk Nowitski in 2011 to get that ring for his team. But instead LeBron couldn’t even shut down Jason Fucking Terry! Or how about shut down Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, or KD, or Steph Curry? How come this alleged “elite defender” didn’t stop these guys from beating his team in finals? We all know the answer: a chase down block every now and then does NOT make you an “elite defender”.

LeBron ruined competitive basketball, leave already

[@aleksandarstojanovski9193]

he is the most image conscious superstar ever. he always hunts for his stats on offense, he is the king of hot potato assists and he almost never takes shots in high pressure situations or even last second heaves because he doesnt want to mess up his shooting percentages. on defense, his main priority is to not get embarrassed. despite his enormous physical gifts, he always shies away from contact, doesnt guard the opponents biggest threat and despite acting like rim protector, he never contests shots at the rim because he is afraid to get posterized. he plays to maximize his box score impact and highlights and thats why his teams always underachieve despite more often than not being favoured to win.

Lebron’s most famous blocks are chase downs or from the weak side.

Tbh, even 37yr old Duncan had a way better DPOY case than Bettis. Spurs were 3rd in Drtg; Duncan was 1st in Drtg, 2nd in DBPM, 4th in DWS. Hell, KD led a better defense and had better advanced stats on defense than Bettis that year. And led his team to the #1 pt differential in the NBA, playing in the vastly superior West. So that right there should’ve also nuked the idea that Bettis should’ve won unanimous MVP

[@vincenttaylor8553]

He should get a Balco statue.

[@raimundasm]

Some times DPOY is determined by a big margin between 1st and 2nd place, like prime Dwight Howard in 09-11. Some times it is closer like Chandler(311) and Ibaka(294) in 2012 or Gasol(212) and James(149) in 2013. But in the end a win is a win. Michael Jordan won his last championship by 1 point. Some might say "Jazz was robbed of victory". But majority celebrate on MJ's clutch greatness.

[@JohnGotty-bk8ov]

The grizzlies had 2 other all defensive players outside of gasol that year. Tony Allen and mike Conley made first and second team all defense

Tim Duncan never won DPOY but yet he's still considered all-time great defender. Everytime you hear about players who never won his name always comes first. Lebron's name never comes up in any way. Lebron's still to this day saltiness about losing the DPOY to Marc exposes himself how weak his defensive resume is. Why only 2013? Why not also any other year? Because he clearly knows the other years his defense wasn't worth crap. (he did have a legit small decent run but still...).
