2. He really should be.

3. Kevin knows ball

4. The casual fan’s will learn about Amen come playoffs, media wont be able to ignore him come playoffs.

5. He had some great points until he said that draymond and jjj had better defensive pieces around them…… Dillon Brooks is a former second team all defense award winner and Tari Eason is an excellent defender as well……….

6. Well. I’m convinced!

7. Why is there a chance he actually wins it this year?

8. At least some people in the media realize Draymond’s dpoy case is purely narrative, it has been clear to most NBA fans. The only argument against amen is that he is young, except they were more than eager to hand it to wemby. Amen has been the best man defender in the league this season, and no big deserves it this season. If anyone wants to argue for Draymond or dort, amen has just been straight up better than them defensively this season. When he said amen outplayed them, amen has been outplaying them since he got back.

9. I’ve genuinely got him as DPOY

10. Spread the good word
