Kobe being there by rep as usual.
First time of Duncan's career he is not there. Probably won't be all nba as well.
Second time in 22 years there is no Spurs![]()
Noah just barely played half the season. 48 games. WTF?
Exactly. Tony Allen and Iggy were much better defensively this year.
It's a shame. Juste has to see how Durant was shut down by Tony Allen in the 4th quarter and overtime of game 3
kobe livin on reputation ahhahaa, wtf didnt he shut down terry or dirk in the series...fkn stern and his fabrication by-product for his product....
Kobe - what a joke! Wanna bet that Pop was one of the idiots who voted for him? Wonder if he'd vote for Tony Allen or Battier after the MEM series.
Oh no, Duncan is not in the defensive team![]()

Kobe is so damn overrated on D as I said a million times. His name gets him there alone.
Chandler should be 1st team with Howard tbh
Haven't seen anyone in this thread saying he deserved it or crying about it.
Spurs defense has not been great this year. And Duncan has obviously lost a step defensively.
It's just that it's the first time in his career...
Ends a long streak for Tim... but father time catches up to everybody...
Maybe the reason Kobe is overated defensively for so many years is him playing with Fisher.
When a star PG start to be hot, they put Kobe on him and it help LA a lot (see OKC series last year).
But it's just because Fisher being soooooo bad defensively that the difference seems huge
Or it's just Stern, conspiracy, product marketing etc...
I agree 100% man. It's a total joke.
Kobe barely averaged 1 steal a game and 0.2 blocks per game. He couldn't guard anyone of worth in the play-offs. He hasn't been much more than lengthy on defense for years.
Franklin and Bash put up better defense than Kobe.
Lol @ 1st team. Kobe, Rondo, LeBron. WTF ? 2nd team would eat them alive in defense
Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo and Kobe Bryant are all overrated defensively, but LeBron deserves his placement. I'm surprised that Luc Mbah a Moute, Andrew Bogut, Thabo Sefolosha, Aaron Afflalo, Dwyane Wade and Kirk Hinrich didn't get more votes. They all deserved to be chosen as well, IMO.
Timmy Duncan is no longer a elite-level defender, but is still good to very good. The demise of our defense has more to do with a lack of size/rim protection/shot blocking, minus Tim, and poor perimeter defense. Put Duncan on any competent defensive team (Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Boston, New Orleans) and he would thrive, IMO.

True true
Kobe really only defended in that 17-1 stretch run the Lakers had ... shame
Allen's D is filthy - he should have made the first team, not Kobe.
As for Timmy, 1228 games on his legs and he's sadly on the decline. However, put the right team around him and he can still influence a game defensively, just like KG does for the Celts.
KG should not be on the first team...
Lack of Serge Ibaka is disappointing.
