Big Ben Wins Fourth DPOTY Award
It was announced today that Big Ben has won his fourth Defensive Player of the Year Award for the fourth time in 5 years. A well deserved recipient I think.
The 6-9 center averaged 11.3 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and a career-high 1.8 steals to anchor a defense which ranked third in the league for fewest points allowed per game (90.2). Wallace was the only player in the league to rank in the top 10 in rebounds per game (fourth), blocks per game (ninth) and steals per game (10th). He became only the fifth player in league history to record 100 blocks and 100 steals in six consecutive seasons.Big Ben DPOTY
