Not sure why the laugther, Atl. Yes PG is indulging himself with that comment, but PG for the longest was(and still has many moments) one of the best defenders in the league.

Nobody slows down the top guards and wings like Herb. NBA has a been a guard dominated league for a while now, it’s strange that DPOY is always titled towards bigs.

Because it's funny when people talk about themselves like that, even if it's true.

I had to check and see if Paul George and Herb had the same agent since this is the kinda thing that doubles someone's asking price during negotiations

PG has just been giving credit where it is due lately

He called Sengun a “Beast” and “Baby Jokic” just the other day and PG literally he nothing in common with Sengun.

He just loves watching basketball.

I enjoy and appreciate seeing different players from around the league tweet/comment about other players.

In March, Mikal was saying how good TMIII is.

Love that shite.

We were 6th in defensive rating. If our offense was better and we were higher in the rankings, Herb might’ve gotten a DPOY campaign like Smart last year.

Bigs get more blocks. Defensive statistics are difficult to judge, blocks and steals get the lions share of love

Agreed

While both are extremely important, the ability to guard an elite wing in iso seems a bit more valuable imo than rim protection.
