told y’all he already has DPOY wrapped up

[–] YourWorstNightmare9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yet how come he can’t guard Jokic or any big centers when it matters?

[–] cookiewoke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Granted, I'm biased, but Bam is arguably the best in the league at guarding bigs. Even against the Nuggets in finals, Jokic shot noticeably worse when he went against Bam than with any other player. I mean, obviously, Jokic came out on top in the end, but Bam definitely gave him more trouble than most.

Bam guarding the Jokic Murray 2 man game is the most Ive ever seen it get slowed down

Bam dpoy or riot

[–] rapelbaum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They want blocks lol defending 1 to 5 is for nerds /s

Bamonte for ROTY

[–] Carcrusher3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

By my calculations that's pretty good

[–] TheloniousMonk15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

One of the most underrated players in the league

[–] irelli@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro, it's 12 possessions lmao

[–] joemoffett12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is what DoninAyton thinks he is doing rn

[–] genewolfepeace@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Heat have a worse defensive rating with Bam on than with Bam off the court

[–] ZootedBeaver@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is a beast

[–] Cudizonedefense@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And he’ll still never win DPOY because he’s not flashy. 2 years ago it was a “games played”. Last year, despite playing nearly 800 more minutes than JJJ (50% more minutes) it was because JJJ was a blocking god. It’s hard for me to say the 2 previous DPOY didn’t deserve it but it certainly feels unfair. Especially since JJJ wasn’t exactly 1.5 times the defender bam was. If someone gives you 90% of the production but can do it for 1.5 times as many minutes, I think you take that person over the person who played somewhat better in the significantly fewer minutes they did play

Sample size of 12 and 17.

Come on man lol this is meaningless. Buddy Hield's at 18.2% on isos on a similar sample size. Bam's elite on defence but come on

[–] dayarra@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

why don't his opponents simply pass the ball when they are against him? are they stupid?

[–] Piss_Sage@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And he still won’t win DPOY because insert reasons

[–] largehearted@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well? If he keeps that going don’t just give him DPOY, give him the nuclear launch codes, give him crimea, retroactively give him finals MVP

[–] CreatiScope@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Been saying that this might be his year for DPOY. The only problem is Rudy is anchoring an ungodly defense in Minnesota right now.
