Player of the Year awards (Dray has 1), to go along with being a 4 time All-Star (Dray has 3).
Ben has 5 All-NBA team picks (Second and Third, never First) and Dray has 2 All-NBA team picks (Second and Third, never First.)
Both have 5 All-NBA Defensive teams, but all 5 of those are First team for Ben, and 2 of those are Second team for Dray.
Dray led the league in steals once, never led in rebounds or blocks. Ben led the lead in rebounds twice and blocks once.
The only stat Dray really wins on is championships with 3 to Ben's 1, but that's absolutely more indicative of how great those teams were.
All this to say Dray could end up being more deserving depending on the rest of his career...but at this point if Ben isn't in the Hall, Dray shouldn't be. And GOAT defensive player? L O L...
