Udonis Haslem expressed his frustration over the criteria for selecting Defensive Players of the Year (DPOY), criticizing the flawed expectations surrounding the award.
He argued that a true Defensive Player of the Year should be able to handle their defensive responsibilities without needing assistance.
According to Haslem, such a player should be capable of guarding any opponent, whether it’s one of the NBA’s top talents or a lesser player, without requiring help from teammates.
