Defensive Player of the Year ballots were released this week and Skeets is furious that some knucklehead voted David Lee as one the league’s best lockdown players. Really? David Lee? Here’s a short list of better “defenders.” Any of these would’ve been a better choice.

Slow clap for Skeets.
Also would add:
Trash bag taped over broken window
Goalie at special olympics soccer game
The Ben Wallace Inflatable Defender (http://www.rockbottomdeals.biz/prod_images_blowup/54557a.jpg)
PULL OUT!
Wow, going with the levees Skeets? Too far man, too far.
And just so we’re clear: Unless David Lee actually had a DPoY vote, we’re really making fun of that anonymous dumbass who said DL was a TOP THREE defender.
Mikki Moore is a worse defender, so Lee gets my vote.
How about the Detroit Lions defense? actually that might be too close to call
Better than plywood houses in a Florida Hurricane season? Better than the bumper on a Vespa? (I tried but couldn’t top the french army!) I could delve into politics and religion but that would be endless. Better than Jeff Van Gundy hanging on Alonzo Mourning’s leg at the Garden?
This might be my favorite TBJ ever. Of all time. The John Locke joke pushed it over the top…
Better than David Lee? All the other cops in Gotham City who only stop helping the bad guys long enough to shake down innocent citizens.
Better than David Lee? That big hole in the wall at the battle of Helm’s Deep in The Lord of the Rings movies
Better than David Lee? The Ozone hole over the South Pole.
Better than David Lee? Derric Coleman and Antoine Walker’s financial anti-bankruptcy advisors.
that made my day! Thank you!
Chat Roulette: better defender than David Lee.

Better than david lee is a blind man with no hands…
This post reminds me of the post on JE’s old skool blog site about basketball before the Jones, where he said Bruce Bowen’s defence is so good he can stop time, and other commenters would add.
Anyway anyone can dig up that post again?
C’mon fags, you can’t rip on my boy D. Lee like that. He’s Mr. Dub-Dub and played out of his mind this year. Underrated passer as well. Does Kwame “Brick Hands” Brown ring a bell? Stll, the anonymous voter must have been high that day (Courtney Lee, MAYBE)
@JBT:
This isn’t on Lee, man. This is on the “anonymous dumbass” who doesn’t watch basketball. He kind of does need to get better at defense if he wants to move up in the ranks. Even the best players in this league are, at least, mediocre defenders. Lee is not yet a mediocre defender.
Melas is acting like he watches “Lost.”
Lee over Perk? That’s crazy.
I feel like this is a bit insulting to David Lee, but he is a pretty bad defender, and that vote is unbearably stupid.
hahaha
JD/Matty O w/o a graphic for pulling out? what else is the internet for?!??
Nice!!!
Side note: The John Locke pic isn’t pre-island John Locke, it’s alternate-reality John Locke…
I agree! Stephen Hawking is better than Lee!
The Great Wall of China is a better defender than Lee and that ain’t do shit lol
