Will LeBron make 1st team all defense this year?

[salwan]

how about jimmy butler?

Anyhow, I don't think LeBron deserves it, but I anticipate the first team being:

G Iguodala
G Butler
C Noah
F LeBron
F George

Lebron was 2nd in DPOY voting last year and you are telling me he's been getting worse defensively the past 2 years..

but i'm the one who's trolling

What?

When did I say that? He's WORSE this season than he has been the last 2 years. That's what I said. How that so hard to comprehend?

[DonDadda59]

Yes he will, despite being ass on defense all year. Just how it goes with superstars once they make the team. Kobe hasn't belonged on an all defense team since the 3-peat era.

At least Bean never whined about not winning DPOY when he didn't deserve it though.

Iggy will probably get robbed again.

Yes he will. It really has no comparison to Kobe as Kobe was making it when he had no business at all even being mentioned. Lebron James is still the best defensive player on a good defensive team. (great when they want to be)

Sure it isn't.

MIA is middle of the pack defensively and Shane Battier is the best defensive player on the team.

[russwest0]

Shouldn't but will.

True. Though I think Kobe deserved 1st team all defense in 00, 01, 08, and don't have a problem with him getting the nod in 02, 03, 04, 09.

What does the 2013-14 season and LeBron* have anything to do with Kobe and his performances from the stone age?

Exactly. LeBron's never been a real game changer on defense.

They really should just reward the defensive specialists (Butler, Leonard, Allen, Iggy, et al) or guys like Garnett, Duncan, Hakeem (obviously when they were in their prime) when they could control the game from both sides of the floor.

It was in response to navy's post:

Hmm...Kobe kept making them long after his defensive drop. Ill say yes. But he doesnt deserve it. Paul George should take the spot.

[riseagainst]

he will win purely based on reputation and media agenda.

If he wins, thats what it will be based on. LeBron*'s defense is way overrated. He's second tier, period.
