http://espn.go.com/n...-defensive-team
 
First Team
 
Joakim Noah
Serge Ibaka
Paul George
Andre Iguodala
Chris Paul

 

Second Team

Roy Hibbert
LeBron James
Kawhi Leonard
Jimmy Butler
Patrick Beverley

 

Ok, I admit I didn't get a chance to watch many games during the season so I may be wrong, but CP3 - really!? Maybe it's cause he missed a number of games this year, but I thought Westbrook would easily be in over CP3; he has great man to man defense and gets a lot of steals AND defensive rebounds.

 

Next up..... wtf is Tony Allen!? Not even on the 2nd team? *shakes head*

 

Lastly.......... not advocating him to be there at all cause I really dunno how good he was this season other than looking at the stats, but kinda strange that two-time DPOY Dwight Howard doesn't even get a mention!? Has he gotten that bad after his injuries!?

Cheers,

Perhaps he doesn't have the "stats"; need more focus on man to man defense and how openents shoot against them. Though I think he may have been there last year!? I could be wrong though..

I don't think Stats paints the entire picture but would think that even someone like Ginobili or T Parker should make it to the second team. And please for heaven sake, take Lebron off that list.

Maybe I'm just biased, but every time when I see lebron trying to make a steal or a block shot, I'm pretty certain he fouled the opposing player but nevers get the call. See it happen too many times.

LOL...... well it's not all about steals and blocks. Lebron can pretty much guard any position.
