It’s crazy to me that Bam hasn’t won a DPOY yet. The fact that he can lock up both Giannis and Dame is just so damn impressive.
His defense this year is looking even better than last year. Absolute game changer
Without him out defense wouldn’t work.
Spo has the team playing drop this year which lets Bam cover more ground and anchor more stongly.
Although Spo gonna Spo so the defensive coverage shifts every few possessions. We have lots of switchy wings this year so Bam can still find himself locking up guards at the perimeter like here.
Yeah, he was really fun to watch last night, as usual.
I’d honestly settle for him making All-Defense 1st team.
He was 1 vote shy of tying JJJ for the last spot on the 2022 1st team (and would have probably gotten more votes had he not missed 25 games with a thumb injury)
You can select clips like this of almost any big in the league. Dame and Giannis both dropped efficient 30 bombs he doesn’t lock up shit
And your team still can't defend. Just wait till we are healthy 😁
You lose in 5 instead of getting swept?
Show me literally one big man who defends an elite pg at the perimeter and proceeds to swat his layup after a drive, I‘ll wait.
Feels like Myles Garrett in the NFL. Always considered one of if not the best defender, just never had it all come together for the award (though hopefully that changes this year).
