在讨论了一些泛泛而谈的话题之后，我们终于要进入到真正的篮球投票环节，就从防守端开始。
欢迎回到 PtR 调查。在这里，我们将紧跟网络潮流，邀请球迷们投票选出他们心目中的马刺球员，组成如下方格所示的阵容。最近，我们评选了史上最受欢迎和最令人讨厌的马刺球员，结果如下：

这两次投票竞争都很激烈，不过马努·吉诺比利(Manu Ginobili)第二次（很可能不是最后一次）获胜，以 37% 的选票遥遥领先，赢得了“最受欢迎马刺球员”的称号，比第二名帕蒂·米尔斯(Patty Mills)高出 10%，比大卫·罗宾逊(David Robinson)高出 15%。然而，“最令人讨厌球员”的竞争异常激烈，直到最后一刻才见分晓。说实话，我认为这有点出乎意料。我一直确信那个臭名昭著、忘恩负义、口无遮拦的仇恨者史蒂芬·杰克逊(Stephen Jackson)会赢，但科怀·伦纳德(Kawhi Leonard)却以微弱的优势获胜，截至撰写本文时，仅领先 29 票。
说实话，直到最后一秒我才把他列入投票名单，因为我认为他的行为更像是背叛，而丹尼斯大叔(Uncle Dennis)的垃圾话以及可能向媒体散布的关于球队的谎言，才是“令人讨厌”的。但唉，我还是加上了科怀，因为有时候，在像他制造的那样的情况下，沉默甚至比说话更糟糕，因为它会让错误的说法持续存在，这可能就是他获胜的原因。
接下来，在进行了一些关于球员性格和一般性问题的投票之后，是时候谈谈真正的篮球了！今天，我们将评选出史上最佳的马刺防守球员，特别是最佳外线防守球员和最佳护框球员。
先说外线，多年来，马刺队在后卫和侧翼位置上拥有多位最佳防守阵容球员，尤其是在他们处于冠军时代并始终保持联盟顶级防守水准的时候。虽然很容易就能想到在三分球盛行的现代篮球中涌现的几位球员——比如布鲁斯·鲍文(Bruce Bowen)（7 次入选最佳防守阵容）、丹尼·格林(Danny Green)（1 次入选最佳防守阵容）和伦纳德（4 次入选最佳防守阵容，2 次获得最佳防守球员）——但我们也不能忘记过去。后卫阿尔文·罗伯逊(Alvin Robertson)就是其中之一，他在马刺队的第二个赛季就获得了最佳防守球员，并在效力马刺队的五个赛季中四次入选最佳防守阵容，其中包括四次场均抢断超过 3 次。
在护框球员方面，马刺队同样人才济济，蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)和大卫·罗宾逊是最有可能的热门人选，但我们也要在这里制造一些争议，把一位新秀/效力马刺队一年的球员（目前为止）维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)也列入其中。这就是他的超凡之处，他成为了历史上第一位在新秀赛季就成为最佳防守球员竞争者的球员，仅仅是他的存在就足以阻止对手冲击篮筐。这足以让他战胜两位经验丰富的传奇球星吗？
还有乔治·约翰逊(George Johnson)。你可能会问，他是谁？虽然他在 80 年代初只为马刺队效力了两个赛季，但他在这两个赛季中都场均送出超过 3 次盖帽，并入选了最佳防守阵容。话虽如此，让他榜上有名的主要数据是 7.9% 的盖帽率，这在马刺队历史上遥遥领先，“海军上将”以 5.7% 的盖帽率位居第二。（我还考虑过雅各布·珀尔特尔(Jakob Poeltl)，他的防守数据也非常出色，但我认为他的影响力还不够，尽管这并不完全是他的错。）
请务必投票，记住，如果“其他”选项在任何一项投票中获胜，我都会查看这里和社交媒体上的评论，点赞最多的人选将获胜。

PtR Survey: The best Spurs defenders of all time
We’re finally getting into some real basketball votes, beginning on the defensive side of the ball.
Welcome back to the PtR Survey, where we are following an online trend where fans are voting on players from their team to fill out a grid like the one below. Most recently, we did the most likable and annoying Spurs of all time, and these were the results:
Both polls were close, although Manu Ginobili got his second (and quite possibly not his last) victory so far, pulling away to win “Most Likeable” Spur with 37% of the votes — 10% more than runner-up Patty Mills and 15% more than David Robinson. However “Most Annoying” was super tight and down to the wire, and honestly, I consider it a bit of an upset. While I was sure the notorious, ungrateful and loud-mouthed hater Stephen Jackson would win, Kawhi Leonard pulled it out by the narrowest of margins yet, with just 29 more votes at the time of this writing.
To be honest, I didn’t even have him in the poll until the last second since I would consider his actions more treasonous, while Uncle Dennis has been the “annoying” one with his trash talk and possible lies to the media about the organization. But alas, I added Kawhi because sometimes silence in situations like the one he created is even worse as it allows false narratives to persist, and that is likely why he won.
Next, after beginning with some generic and personality-based polls, it’s time to talk about some real basketball! Today, we are looking at the best Spurs defenders of all time, specifically the best perimeter defender and rim protector.
Beginning with the perimeter, the Spurs have had several All-NBA defenders at guard and the wings over the years, especially back when they were consistently the top defense in the league during their championship era. While it’s easy to think of several in the modern era as three-point shooting became more prevalent — such as Bruce Bowen (7x All-NBA), Danny Green (1x All-NBA) and Leonard (4x All-NBA, 2x DPOY) — we can’t forget about the old times, either. That’s where guard Alvin Robertson comes in, who won Defensive Player of the Year in just his second season with the Spurs and made the All-Defense team in four of his five seasons here, including averaging more than 3 steals per games four times.
The Spurs have been equally as abundant in the rim-protector category with two possible favorites in Tim Duncan and David Robinson, but we’re also going to get controversial here and bring in a rookie/one-year Spur (so far) in Victor Wembanyama. That’s just how transcendent he has been, becoming the first rookie to ever come in as runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year, and his presence alone is enough to prevent players from even trying to attack the rim. Is that enough to upset two legends with much more experience?
There’s also George Johnson. Who, you may ask? While he only spent two seasons with the Spurs in the early 80’s, he averaged over three blocks per game in both while making the All-Defense team. That being said, the main stat that gets him on the list is block percentage of 7.9, which leads the franchise by a pretty significant margin, with the Admiral coming in at a “distant” second with 5.7 percent. (I also considered Jakob Poeltl, who also has very impressive defensive stats, but I decided he just wasn’t as impactful, although that’s not entirely his fault.)
Be sure to vote, and remember, if “Other” wins in either poll, I will check the comments here and on social media, and the most liked will win.
