According to this link I found on Rotoworld, we have Good News!! Tyson Chandler gets the well-deserved honor of DPOY for the 2011-2012 NBA Season.

I'm happy as a peach to get some good news, and for Tyson to be the receiver of said news. He was my favorite Knick all season, as I appreciate hard work, defense, rebounding, defense, intensity, leadership, defense, and his beard.

Here is the short blurb on Rotoworld, looks like the source is Mark Spears on Twitter:

Yahoo!'s Marc Spears is reporting that Tyson Chandler will be named the Defensive Player of the Year on Wednesday.

Winning this award was definitely a goal of Chandler's and with all the bad news coming out of Knick-land lately, this will be a welcomed event tomorrow. Chandler averaged 11.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks this season while anchoring a solid Knicks' defense.
