HAKEEM'S DREAM SEASON CLIMAXES WITH DEFENSIVE AWARD. New York, NY, May 14, 1993 - Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon, the league blocked-shot leader in three of the last four seasons, has been named the 1993 NBA Defensive Player of the Year. In 1992-93, the 7-0 Nigerian rejected 55 more shots (342) than any other player, led all centers in steals (150) and was second in defensive rebounds (785). He captured 74% of the possible votes.
Last season, Derek become only the second player in NBA history, besides Isiah Thomas, to reach 15,000 points, 6,000 assists and 1,800 steals in a career.
Chalmers is wise in that he leaves the driving-the-lane part of the game to Miami's bigger guys. He provides just as much pop on the offensive end by spotting up and drilling jump shots. Chalmers was one of three Miami players to reach double digits in points when the Heat beat Charlotte on Dec. 28, 2011.
