* = unanimous

I've put together a table of the results (currently live through Post #176 by INDI @9:22PM EST):

Key (usernames on left, player seasons on top):
GREEN = strong approve
YELLOW = approve
ORANGE = disapprove
RED = strong disapprove
BLUE = no stance
(for the colorblind/visually-impaired, I've entered numbers 3,1,-1,3 in the cells for the categories above respectively, with no stance currently blank...the numbers don't mean much, but if you click the number and season, e.g. '95 Hakeem', it'll give you a sum of the numbers in the column)

I've counted everybody's votes so far who's posted in this thread, so if you weren't being serious, be sure to reply (don't edit your post, I'm not going to look through the thread again). If you mentioned a player and named the season (for guys with multiple cases) it's a strong approve/disapprove. If you just give a name, I (weak) approved you for all of that guy's years. Let me know if there are any problems with the entries in your row.

You can make a case for Shaq as the best defensive player on the three peat Lakers.

I might be misunderstanding your question...correct me if I am.

But LeBron last year? Wasn't a great defender, but was the best on Miami. Obviously was the best offensive player.

Prior to that... I'd go Timmy Duncan.

Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Hakeem Olajuwon
Tim Duncan

DOn't gimmie that. He's not a great defender. Timmy D is a much better example.

haven't really thought about LeBron, but the two guys I have in mind are:

94 Hakeem Olajuwon (likely 95 as well in my book, but a handful of people give Clyde the edge)
03 Tim Duncan (in 99 Admiral was the defensive anchor, and in 05/07 arguably Manu and definitely Parker respectively meant more to the offense IMO)

Of course Lebron should be in this.
