Giannis Might Be The MVP And He Might Be The Defensive Player Of The Year Too

It did not go down as a missed shot for Kemba Walker and it did not go down as a block for Giannis or Brook Lopez.

It was just another stop for the team that (yes, still, despite some recent dips) has the top defense in the league this season.

Defensive Efficiency — 2018/19
1. Bucks: 104.7
2. Pacers: 105.2
3. Celtics: 105.7
4. Jazz: 105.8
5. Thunder: 105.9

Figuring out who gets credit for that stop on Kemba and who gets credit for the overall success of the team defense is a luxurious problem to have, one fitting for a 50–17 team.
