opponents best post player, he got schooled regularly, especially with superstars like Duncan and Shaq.

Here's something the pistons fans and voters should take note of.
Bruce Bowen shuts down allstars during the playoffs, he will take players out of thier game and make them shoot horrible shots. He will do this while actually playing defense on that player, moving his feet and staying in front of his man. He did it last year to players like Marion and Hamilton, and he will do it again this year.

Ben isn't the best perimeter defender on his team, Prince is.
Ben isn't the best post defender on his team, Rasheed is.

What I will give Ben credit for is this.
Ben is the best off the ball defender in the game, but as far ashim being able to defend anyone, how could you possibly know that since he never ever is responsible for playing Defense on the opponents best players, and when he used to (before Rasheed) he would get his azz handed to him by the top tier players. He plays against the scrubs and gets to roam around on D, and while he will block shots and grab rebounds, he will never shut one player down becuase he's never really guarding any ONE player.

Ben can keep getting this award which is losing it credibility, while Duncan and Bowen (both of whom should have at least 1 DPOY award each) can continue to collect rings.

I mean if the local Detroit paper didn't publish an article about how great the Pistons are
