(Boulder-CO) In a complete robbery, Kevin Garnett has been named the Defensive Player of the Year over Marcus Camby after coming in a distant runner-up in both rebounds and blocked shots. In fact, Marcus Camby grabbed more DEFENSIVE rebounds per game than Garnett averaged in total and nearly tripled his average in blocked shots!
Head-to-head, Marcus Camby's averages of 13.1 rebounds (2nd in NBA), 3.6 blocks (1st in NBA; second consecutive year leading the league), and 1.06 steals (2nd in NBA of centers) seem to trump Kevin Garnett's averages of 9.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.3 blocks.
The only logical reason for the snub is Camby plays on the defenseless Nuggets who allowed the second highest point per game average in the league, but then again, wasn't this honor awarded to the individual effort?
Vent here!
