It's Anthony Davis's complaint from the Los Angeles Lakers.

CBS Sports, a U.S. sports media outlet, reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that the NBA has announced the final three nominees for various awards. Rudy Gobear, Victor Wembanyama, and Bam Adebayo have been nominated for the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Kobe and Adebayo are big men with strong defense capabilities that represent the league. Wembanyama is a rookie player in San Antonio who is nicknamed "The Alien." He was considered one of the best defenders of the season for his strong block shot ability and defense.

CBS Sports reported Davis' reaction. Anthony Davis is also one of the best defenders in the league.

In particular, he is the big man who not only has inside defense but also has the best mismatched response as a big man. Unfortunately, however, he was excluded from the final three players' list.

Davis told ESPN, "I'm not going to win the Defensive Player of the Year award after all. The NBA secretariat doesn't give me the award. I'm the best defender in the league. I can play every position from No. 1 to No. 5. I'm the best in my pick-and-roll defense, and I have the ability to rebound. However, the league doesn't like me."

"I can block shots, assist defense, switch defense, check 2 to 2 pick-and-roll guards. I can do anything defensive," he said in an angry tone. "I don't know what more I should do. (Defensive Player of the Year award) is over. I will do my best to play for the team's victory and challenge for the championship."

CBS Sports said, "I can perfectly understand why Davis feels that way. He has been one of the best defenders in the world since he was a rookie. However, he ranked fourth in 2015, third in 2018, and second in 2020 in the Defensive Player of the Year vote."

This season, Davis averaged 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. He was the de facto ace of the Los Angeles Lakers. He was one of the two players in the league who averaged 2 blocks and 1 steal.

It is regrettable that Davis did not have the final three players. However, it is also true that he lacked impact in a cool-headed way. Kobe showed off his best vertical defense ability in the league, and failed to shoot highlight films as much as Wembanyama did.
