Miami Heat forward Bam Adebayo thinks that he should have won the last two DPOY awards.<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert won the award in 2020-2021 while last season Marcus Smart was the winner of the Defensive Player of the Year Trophy.<\/a><\/p>\n

Per Sun Sentinel,<\/a> Bam Adebayo<\/b>\u00a0might prove able to push past last season\u2019s disappointment of losing Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Celtics, but he apparently is not letting go of being beaten out for NBA Defensive Player of the Year the last two seasons by\u00a0Marcus Smart<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Rudy Gobert<\/b>. \u201cI should have won it the last two years,\u201d Adebayo told the assembled campers at the Heat\u2019s youth clinic, when asked about his ongoing goals, \u201cand I will win it this year.\u201d Caesar\u2019s Sports Book has Heat forward Adebayo as the second choice for DPOY, at +700, to win 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, behind only Gobert (+550), well ahead of Smart (+1000).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
