Star Guard Mikal Bridges’ contribution in the Phoenix Suns being the top seed in the entire league can’t be denied as he has been an absolute force in the defense for the Suns this season and that’s why he has emerged as the biggest contender to win the Defensive Player of the year award. Meanwhile, in a recent tweet Bridges agreed to Stephen A. Smith’s statement which says that he deserves the DPOY honors over Draymond Green.

Draymond Green’s performance in defense this season for the Warriors can be called his best defensive play so far in the last two to three years. Since the season started Green was leading the DPOY list and there was no doubt that he deserved that but due to his recent injury his ranking and performance went down. Now, he has recovered and made his comeback to the Warriors’ campaign with his return he has claimed that he’s going to try & get the DPOY which Stephen A. Smith totally disagrees.

After making the comeback against the Wizards, Green was interviewed where he said that the Warriors are still chasing the NBA championship while adding a bold statement, he said that he will try to get the DPOY which he deserves. Moreover, Stephen A. Smith doesn’t believe the same thing as he took it on air and claimed that Mikal Bridges is the most deserving player to get the DPOY award this season.

In the recent episode of the First Take at ESPN Smith said, “But he is not the defensive player of the year. Draymond gets that out your head, you don’t miss 32 games and you are DPOY. THAT title is going to belong to Mikal Bridges of the Phoenix Suns. THAT’s the DPOY, let’s get that out the way right now, there’s nothing to talk about, this brother’s special. Ok? And he deserves our praise, he’s getting it from me today”

The current season is not over yet and many players are still making the best plays of their season so judging it before who deserves the DPOY will not be the right thing let’s wait and watch who is more useful for their team with the defensive skills.
