All-Defensive Teams Announced

[Amaso]

This list looks right to me. We think of these guys as scorers and forget how good these superstars are defensively.

When Kobe/DWade/LeBron want to lock you down, you stay locked down.

I mean seriously, how many times do you see LeBron's guy score on him? Or how many times has Kobe's guy scored on him? Kobe plays alot of help defense, that's about the only time his man scores on him.

I see Battier and Artest's name coming up.... Kobe averaged 28 points versus Battier and Artest this year, that's 1 point more than his average. Brandon Roy lit up both Artest and Battier for 27 points during the first round, 5 above his average.

Duncan's defense was good this year, it wasn't great. KG's a great defender, he missed the last part of the season though. I guess that one's a toss-up.

That's a pretty good assessment. I dont know if I would call Dwayne Wade or Lebron lock down defenders though.

I think CP3 is little but he led the league in steals for 2 straight years. So WTF are you people talking about when u say he does not deserve to be there ....He belongs on that list and LOL at Bowen not getting a single vote!

[endrity]

Yes because obviously steals = good defense. That is why AI was such a great defender as well.

[jack sommerset]

I could only imagine the Spew fans on this site if Parker led the league in steals and didnot make the all defense team.

[endrity]

And they would be wrong.

They would be even more wrong given the fact that they have had Bowen on their team for all these years teaching them what real man on man defense is.

[poop]

this whole 'Howard as the greatest defender' thing is a joke.

Total diss/screwjob on Scalabrine... I bet he's gonna come out fired up for tonight!

Scalabrine is so pale and pasty that when they wear the home white uni's he looks like he's running around naked with just Celtic stickers on.

[JamStone]

Did you really think that was funny?

[LnGrrrR]

Did you really think that was funny?

Yes. But then again, every time I picture Scalabrine I laugh. I don't see how anyone couldn't really.

All he's missing is the short shorts of the 80's.

wtf is up with that dingy ass headband he always wears???? embarassing

Are you kidding? Scal is the funniest looking NBA player ever, there is no denying it.

[Ghazi]

Some of these 1st place votes simply make no sense. Raja Bell? Kendrick perkins? Jason Kidd/ Derrick FISHER? and so on...

FIRST place votes?

[KSeal]

Yeah Derek Fisher makes absolutely no sense, that man is complete garbage on the defensive end. Bell and Perkins at least make some sense, Fisher doesn't at all.

I was wondering about that too, but they said in the last game it has special padding to help him with head blows, because he's had concussions.

[IronMexican]

I wish Scalebrine went to UCLA.

[Yuushi12]

i would say lebron was a good defender during the olympics, using his height advantage over the europeans. but in the nba? nah.

[Killakobe81]

Kobe is ALL NBA Defense when Motivated ...but to be fairr he is the roamer ...so he can dig down and double when needed ...
Only guys I have seen light Kobe up this year was Roy in Portland ...and maybe JR Smith in Denver and Manu had a nice game against him as well in SA ...

CP3 is the travesty he cant gaurd anyone at PG ...

But if he desreves to be there KOBE sure does ...

[Killakobe81]

Artest is not a great defender anymore either good but not great like Rodman with the Bull overrated Shane is really good so is Iguadola

[Spursfan092120]

Lebron = FAIL
CP3 = FAIL
Kobe = FAIL
KG = FAIL

The 2nd team should be the first team..All-defensive team is a joke now

agreed 100%...it's all about the name now...just like MVP. 2nd team should definitely be first team.

[Spursfan092120]

Artest is not a great defender anymore either good but not great like Rodman with the Bull overrated Shane is really good so is Iguadola

disagree..I think Artest is still a great defender...Battier is better, but Artest is really good.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

When the did All defensive team become the same exact ing thing as all-NBA. It's ing sickening that Kobe has made all team defense as much as he has. Sickening. Chris Paul? Are you ing ting me?
They should rename DPOY to Blocker Of The Year and rename all-defense to All-Stat Stuffer

Chris Paul? Seriously?? Seriously???

[Imposter Cleaner]

all-offensive team:

Center Yao Ming
Guard Westbrook
Guard Jason Kidd
Forward Kevin Durant
Forward Jeff Green

[KidCongo]

If you don't think LeBron is the deserving MVP and won it on name, I can't take you serious.
