If Marcus Smart does not win the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year this season, clearly voters will never give it to a guard again. If that’s the case, the NBA should create a Gary Payton Award for the NBA’s best defensive guard (no guard has won DPOY since The Glove in 1996).

Part of the reason people give Patrick Mahomes flack (often undeserved IMO, he's incredible) is b/c of hyperbolic statements like this, saying he's the GOAT etc. He's great, obviously. Today he averaged 6.17 yards/pass. That would be behind Zach Wilson for

Patrick Mahomes retires today he’s the best I’ve ever seen, & there’s no conversation. He goes into the Hall with no vote. It’s almost become laughable. We should probably stop critiquing regular season woes and struggles. Just wait until Championship weekend & watch then.
