Joakim Noah is NBA's Defensive Player of the Year

Noah deserved to win.

Surprised that Ibaka wasn't in the top 3.
He throws block arties on a regular basis.

After watching James Hardens’ 11 minutes of bad defense tape on Bleacher Report, I can say with 100% certainty that he was justifiably not in the running ;)

I'm a little bit surprised to see that he won by such a large margin as I was expecting a lot of votes to be given to Hibbert, but I agree with this pick.

Noah hasn't really been a defensive standout in terms of statistics (11.3 REB, 1.5 BLK, 1.2 STL) he has been the anchor of Thibodeau's defense all season.
His mobility around the floor, hustle and effort, voice from the baseline willingness to step out and guard players on the perimeter, along with his rebounding and overall defensive awareness and presence are what make him such a standout defensive player.
