JJ Redick Reveals His 2023-24 NBA Awards Votes 

Harden averaged 36.9 PPG and didn’t win it

Yeah man the second or third best player not winning is gonna be a massive robbery 😂

​​@@tshimomogudi51He sets up the comparison of Mazula to Rivers at 12:32 "a coach who gets in the way of that" is meant to be Doc

yea im pissed. its definitely rigged.

Or maybe Gobert is just better? Wemby is great and deserving of top 3 DPOY, probably even the runner up but Gobert overall is more impactful on defense. Not only is he a great rim protector like Wemby but he also is better on-ball against other elite centers and he commands the defense in a way Wemby isn't capable of yet. Just like there are guys that have the intangibles to run an offense, there are guys who have the intangibles to run a defense and Gobert is one of the best ever at it. Check the drtg on/off splits for the other Minnesota starters, literally all of them are negative. One of the biggest reasons for the small dropoff is that they have great defenders on the 2nd unit. Without Rudy that starting unit would be subpar defensively. I believe the Spurs went from 30th to 22nd of defense this year. TWolves went from 28th to 10th and now to 1st with Gobert. Consider this: the last time a player from a team with a defensive rating outside the top 5 won the Defensive Player of the Year award was 17 years ago. The lowest-ranked defense for a DPOY winner ever was 16th. Currently, the Spurs rank 22nd in defensive rating. It begs the question whether it's fitting to award DPOY to a player leading a team with a defense in the bottom third. It's akin to suggesting MVP honors for players whose teams miss the playoffs. Also I'd argue that as much as the teams defense being bad isn't Wembys fault that also makes Wembys' on/off differentials inflated due to the shortcomings of the bench, notably the absence of a reliable backup center.

Wemby would be a historically awful DPOY. His team would have the worst defense ever for a DPOY winner, the least amount of wins for a DPOY winner. He definitely has more gravity than Rudy, a better perimeter defender too. However the point of the game is to win, and Wemby’s team is awful. Just cause the award says “Defensive Player” doesn’t mean it’s just about the player, it’s never been about one thing but how that one thing affects the team as a whole.

So it's a team award. Gay!

@@drago2689 Gobert also plays on a team with good defenders like Jaden McDaniels Anthony Edwards and so on literally all Wembys teamates suck on D.

Denver still had the best record after the ASB. Jokic is clearly and by far the most valuable player. It's not even remotely close

I think even Luka would disagree, cause jokic is clearly, the best player in the nba rn

You keep using that word, wild. I dont think it means what you think it means.

@@adamstewart247Luka isn’t the best player OR the MVP. It’s almost unanimous that Jokic is MVP, but sad Luka fans just can’t understand it lol.

Or Kd they stepped up

JJ either blacked out and forgot about ADs existance or JJ has agenda against AD. I would say eye test AD is best deffender in the world so if AD lacks stats AD at the WORST should be on 2nd DEF team.

He absolutely just blanked and forgot, that’s the only explanation lmfao

For the first time in his career, AD was not an elite 1-on-1 defender this year. He was a shot blocking machine as a help defender, but on the ball, mid-level guys were torching him. The coaches even took him off of top guys (guys he would have defended in the past) in-game so he could roam for shot blocking opportunities instead of getting beat. That's not fiction. Watch the games.

@@viliusvaisvila4510it’s simple. If he acknowledges how great Davis has been, he can’t say “lebron doesn’t have enough help”. Because everyone with 2 functioning eyes and a brain knows Davis should be at minimum 1st team all defense, 2nd team all nba, 2nd in DPOY. Imo he should win DPOY and should be the 5th guy on all nba 1st team.

Positionless all-defensive team! 10 players who had better defensive impact than AD. 10!!! Channel --> Ignore.

He's on Lebron's payroll, like most of the media. Downplaying AD's impact will only boost Lebron's perceived impact

Insanity

AD sucks

Only thing I can think of is that Lakers have only one playoff team below them in points allowed per game.

And it's not a "top5" award, it's the best defensive player of the year. And Gobert is better than Wemby in literally every aspect except blocks. Gobert created the defensive mentality for the Wolves, which lead them to the nr1 defense in the league. Wemby on the other hand, is 2nd in the league on turnovers.

That's a lie Wemby has him smoked in all categories accept for not being on a winning team.

@@Meta4XReaL Are you stupid? Players shoot on average 5-8% WORSE vs Gobert. He's ahead in literally every defensive metric. Wemba has him on offense, but the award is DEFENSIVE player notthing else. Oh, and Gobert has better rating with 5 more min played per game, less turnovers in that time and 2 more rebounds per game. Gobert's defense wins games. Wembys doesnt. Go read what "defense" means.

Wemby has almost twice as many Steals, Deflections and Blocks as Gobert, in less minutes. His blocks end up in Spurs hands at an unheard of rate. He effects more 3's than any centre. He should also get defensive credit for his ability to start fastbreaks. Wemby and Joker are the only big guys who do that so well. They turn a defensive rebound or block onto a quick outlet pass which creates easy points. Gobert doesn't have that ability and its an important part of being a defender.

@@addytrolla2535 Incorrect. Gobert leads the defensive winshares by a mile, almost double of Wemby. And steals? Jokic averages more steals than Wemby, so he's a defensive player candidate? The only metric Wemba has is blocks where he leads by a lot. Opponents score on average 30.9p in the paint vs Gobert. They score 32.4 vs Wemby. Opponents average 49.2% from 2 and 36% from 3 vs Gobert. They shoot 54.6 from 2 and 36.9% from 3 vs Wemby. Gobert has 697 defensive rebounds. Wemby has 594. So no, stop smoking what you're smoking. Gobert is BY FAR the better defender. Oh and the most important part? Gobert's defense makes a difference.

JJ didn't watch any kings game for sure. Kings won plenty of games because of Monk. I couldn't say the same about Reid.

So Naz should be disqualified by a Towns injury.

SGA is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league while the Lakers defense is literally better when Davis is on the bench. It's not a crazy take.

A great player controls himself and can set teammates up with great passing but if they miss that effects team performance and that isn't the great players fault. If Luka throws a great pass to PJ Wash and PJ misses the shot is that Luka's fault? If Jokic is setting his teammates up all night with great passing and they keep missing and lose the game is that Jokic's fault? As far as DPOY it's not a team defense award. It's for the best defensive PLAYER. Going back to MVP, the voting has become so convoluted and it's because of the media. They put the team success in there and for yrs now they've created narratives too. Like "So and so deserves a MVP." Wtf is that? No one deserves the MVP. They earn the MVP through their play. But fans have become more casual and dumber so they go right along with this crap and many of em even repeat it like you did. In this vid JJ even said team success factors into the 1st team all NBA. That's insane. JJ said "How I view MVP and 1st team all NBA is a little different." No. There should be a criteria and this is where the media has severely screwed this all up.

He is from an individual standpoint the spurs are a top 5 defense when he's on the court and bottom 5 when he's off.

Too many people use the "best defender on a top team" bullshit. Wemby is clearly the more impactful defensive player.

@@lightsout4u1Agreed. Wemby is most impactful player on defense this year. He’s historically impactful, so it’s goofy for him not to get the award just because he’s a rookie and the rest of his team is atrocious defensively.

I think you are not really getting how JJ does his picks. He hedges on the people that didn't get his selection by acknowledging how great they are...

Agree with everything you stated and Wemby should 1000% be DPOY. But I think JJ is hiding behind the NBA politics not the team aspect.

Facts but Jokic will win bc his plus/minus looks good bc Denver has no back up center and only allows Jokic to play with the starting lineup then puts in a entire bench lineup into the game

If Luka did "so much more" for his team then he wouldn't have less rebounds than Jokić. It's close... Jokić does just as much with less usage the ball and Shai has put just as much great work in to get OKC top.

@@silewis9396Bro are you stupid ? Luka is a PG, hopefully he has less rebound than a center. And by the way, Luka is by far the best guard in rebounds

So Jokic won MVP because the Nuggets won 7 more games than the Mavs? Nice Bc Luka clearly had a better season, average 34, 10, 9 compared to Jokic 26, 9, 12 “Oh but Jokic had better advanced stats” well pretty easy to do when Nuggets have no back up center. And play Jokic with one of the best starting lineups in the NBA, then bring in a terrible bench lineup who Jokic never plays with. Mavs had way more injuries including Kyrie missed 24 games, starting center Lively missed 27, Maxi Kleber missed 39 games, Josh Green missed 25 games, Dante Exum missed 27 games Also Gafford and Washington got their after the deadline to only play 29 games each on the Mavs

Luka had Kyrie. Jamal has been injured a lot

He's on Lebron's payroll, like most of the media. Downplaying AD's impact will only boost Lebron's perceived impact

@@mathewdavis2427 you funny asf dude. seen you 7 times now just on this video 🤣🤣🤣

@@SkidiPatPathe reaaaaaaally hates Lebron 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@mathewdavis2427 i've never seen such hate on youtube before, you're lunatic buddy get better lmao

Advanced Stats are REAL

​@@SamuelBlackMetalRider That happens if your backup is not even at G-League level. Or if you play your starters by far the most of any team in the league, by a mile!. 4 Denver starters are in the Top10 of plus minus (Murray only top20 because of injuries), Denver plays all Bench lineups, of course the starters look way better in advanced stats. Not to mention that specially defensive advanced metrics (DBPM, def WS) highly favor Big man. Or why do you think only 3 guards are in the Top20 of both stats? The Denver starters played over 900 minutes together this season in 46 games.

Wow best comment right here! Denver trying to rig the advanced stats so Jokic can win mvp

Y’all can twist tf out of the advanced stats all you want, they prove Jokic is more efficient & more valuable. As in MOST VALUABLE PLAYER.
