I've always been a big stat nerd and a historian. I love significant fact-finding and digging into the data/stats. But we MUST look at the data in its entirety, not just share the data that helps drive home a narrative we believe. What was left out in this argument (No denying inaccurate stats) is that the Chicago Bulls allowed the fewest points per game in 1988 by roughly 2 points per game (3rd lowest 3 point % allowed and 5th in overall FG% allowed). So, regardless of Steals/Blocks, Michael Jordan was the best player on the team that ALLOWED the fewest points per game, and unless we are questioning the points per game scored and allowed, his Defensive Player of the Year award, IMO, was still earned. I don't believe awards were given purely on steals/blocks, but maybe that's the case, and I missed the memo...

Trayce Jackson-Davis exited the game in the first quarter.

Player prop bets will either get refunded in cash or settled as a win. If it’s part of a parlay, the rest of your bet will still play out. Any bet settled before the injury will stand.

[Clarence Strong @Rennyiv]

@FanDuel Ya'll have to void Trayce-Jackson tonight man... 6 minutes in a regular game...... No injury, no matchup adjustment, nothing.....

@lionray98 Bruhhh.. Had her over in points. Thought it was a lock.. smh...

@emanuelgodina @Jacobtheclipper Guess we all learned something new today. If you didn’t watch it live you can’t grade or critique it. I wonder how college professors grade projects that were done at home….. LOL

I also mentioned and clearly stated, "Who deserves the Defensive Player of the Year Award is subjective, so I RESPECT your opinion if you think he didn't." You got off topic in calling me a follower when I actually said YOUR opinion of who won the reward is respected. If steals and blocks mean a person deserves the award for YOU, then you are right; it's fair to question him winning. But the NBA doesn't award it based on stats. Based on the NBA's process, steals and blocks are not mentioned.

[Clarence Strong @Rennyiv]

It was. It called into question his Defensive Player of the Year trophy. You tell me. What does the first line of this report say? "1988 DPOY award raises questions about its validity." That award is not given based on block and steal stats. You just told on yourself because I never said MJ was the GOAT. LOL, "MJ acolytes." Again, please tell me how I'm a MJ follower. The Celtics are my favorite team, and I've never once mentioned Jordan's all-time ranking OR him being better than anybody. He's not even my favorite player, LOL. Nice try, though, man. You also didn't READ my first post, where I CLEARLY said (NO DENYING INNACURATE STATS)

@hardwoodjunkies @OddCoupleFSR @jovanbuha @tomhaberstroh @FoxSportsRadio @iHeartRadio Quote from my original post (His defensive Player of the Year award, IN MY OPINION, was still earned) The same problem with the original story: taking a portion of my post and attempting to say I said, "Michael Jordan should have won because the Bulls had the best defense."

[Clarence Strong @Rennyiv]

Post I made earlier today @Jacobtheclipper . This should give you a head start...

@KFCBarstool I posted this a little bit ago. The Jordan haters have to complete their argument. They left out the Bull's defensive rankings that season. (Lowest points per game, 3rd best in 3pt % and 5th best overall FG% allowed)

[Clarence Strong @Rennyiv]

I just checked the stats. In 25 Career games against Holiday/White (15 Holiday/10 White), he's averaging 19.68 points per game; his career points per game are 17.5, so he's about 10% higher. It doesn't sound like "Murder," but he's had some good games against them. Hopefully, we'll get to find out in the finals next year! :)

[Clarence Strong @Rennyiv]

@designhealthy @ESPNNBA IDK about "murdering" two guards who were both on the All-NBA defensive team, but I guess anything is possible...

@CelticsUnite18 @gnavas103 Big FACTS: A Game 7 loss a year ago somehow erases historical data, plus the fact that the Celtics actually have a CHAMPIONSHIP over the last 5 years... Sorry, Miami...
