Well deserved, made the Knicks, a top 5 defense.
It will always be easier to find role players to cover up your stars defensive deficiencies than it will be to find guys that can cover up your stars offensive shortcomings.

Without Tyson NY would be a horrible defensive team. Him and Amare are night and day. Tyson made NY a top 5 defensive end, but there's only so much he can do cause Miami is lighting them up.

Chandler deserves this honor. I'm glad he continues to perform on the defensive end and stay healthy besides a couple setbacks. Cheers!

Doesn't the Knicks defense get better with Tyson on the bench?

Mavs defense surprisingly is fine without him.
