I looked at last year's results and KG didn't even get a vote for best defensive player and wasn't even in the top 3 for best interior defenders. Amazing how playing with a good team influences people's opinions of you.

I bet I know where the vote for Love came from...

I think it says more about how playing on a bad team influences people's opinions of you (though obviously it's both). Same way now with Jefferson, people don't realize how good he is because he's playing here.

It's true, we all knew it all along, glad to see him getting his props.
