With the NBA preseason beginning this week, now is as good a time
as any for a basketball round. The NBA has awarded Defensive
Player of the Year (hereafter DPOTY) since the 1982-83 season.
Here are 10 questions about the ballers other ballers fear.
1. Which Minnesota Timberwolf won DPOTY for the most recent NBA
season (2023-24)? *Hint*: it was his fourth time winning this
award in 7 years.
2. Two other players have each won DPOTY 4 times. One of them
won the award while playing for the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta
Hawks (twice), and Philadelphia 76ers, and is best known for
his signature "No no no" finger waggle. He passed away last
week due to brain cancer. Name him.
3. The last player to win DPOTY 4 times won it each time playing
for the Detroit Pistons, although surprisingly he did not win
it in 2004 when his Pistons won the NBA championship. Name him.
4. Only one player has won DPOTY exactly 3 times, and he's also
the only player to win it 3 times in a row -- all with the
Orlando Magic, from 2008-09 to 2010-11. Who is he?
5. Three players have won both DPOTY and MVP in the same season.
The first player to do so did it in 1988. Who was he?
6. Only one player has won DPOTY and MVP and NBA Finals MVP all
in the same season, in 1994 when he was playing for the Houston
Rockets. Name him.
7. The final player to win DPOTY and MVP in the same season did
so while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks. Name him.
8. Only one member of the Golden State Warriors has ever won DPOTY,
which happened in 2017. Name him.
9. Alvin Robertson won DPOTY in 1986. In that same year, he
did something only three other players in NBA history have
ever officially managed to do -- and none of them were guards,
like Robertson was. What feat did Robertson accomplish?
10. Alvin Robertson also scored the first points for the Toronto
Raptors in the team's history (in their first game). Of players
mentioned thus far, <answer 6> also played briefly for the
Raptors. Three other players who have won DPOTY have played for
the Raptors, although none of them won it playing for the Raps.
Name any one of them.
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2024-10-07,
