LeBron James throws shade at Marc Gasol for stealing his 2012-13 DPOY trophy
- Updated: December 1, 2020

Last week, the Los Angeles Lakers rebounded after losing Dwight Howard in free agency by signing veteran big man Marc Gasol.
LeBron James took a shot at him while on a recent episode of Road Trippin’ by saying that Gasol stole the Defensive Player of the Year award from him one year.

Gasol won the award in the 2012-13 season, back when he was playing for the “Grit and Grind” Memphis Grizzlies.
For all of his greatness and accolades, the Akron, Ohio native has never won a Defensive Player of the Year award, despite being considered one of the game’s premier defenders earlier in his career.
James has been named to an NBA All-Defensive team numerous times in his career and has always had the ability to guard players of almost any position.
At 6-foot-11 and 255 pounds, Gasol will give the Lakers someone who can guard wide-body centers such as Nikola Jokic, Jusuf Nurkic and Joel Embiid.
