Anthony Davis did not hold back on one the NBA and one Timberwolves star in particular while talking about the league awards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anthony Davis<\/a> has earned his reputation as one of the best defenders in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> man is a dynamic big who can guard all positions on the court.<\/p>\n

His defensive prowess was on full display against the Celtics<\/a> on Thursday night. The former All-Star had one steal and three blocks, as Davis said the Lakers beat them at their own game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But for all of his defensive greatness, Davis has never won a coveted Defensive Player of the Year award. One Lakers teammate suggested the team doesn’t use AD correctly<\/a>, which could be one of the reasons.<\/p>\n

However, Anthony Davis has his own theory of why he hasn’t earned the award yet. His comments hint at frustration towards the NBA and one player in particular.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Shams Charania, Anthony Davis pondered why he hadn’t been named Defensive Player of the Year yet. AD noted that the goalposts keep moving. Every time he feels he meets the criteria, the criteria seem to change.<\/p>\n

“[Damian Lillard] said this before, that the goalpost moves every time he’s up for something. When I first got into the league, Defensive Player of The Year was awarded to a big that blocked shots, who led the league in blocked shots.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve done that three times early on in my career here and it didn’t come to me.”<\/p>\n
