Shams: All-NBA Defensive Teams Named

[Handlez]

Based on playoffs/when they actually try, you'd have to seriously consider Kyrie and Luka.

Why are you laughing?

Kyrie especially has been a menace defensively.

Stop falling for narratives.

Luka just won the game defensively last night. (Broke up the lob was defensive play of the game)

Kawhi over Chet shows how **** the voting is. 2nd team snub 100 %, no way so many guards/wings have more impact on the defensive end than him.

[MMyhre]

Over/Under on how many first Team All-Defense Wemby makes? 7.5?

Wut? Over, easily.

All for the money, none for the show!
Stupid "teams" and their income should not be based on some votes.

It's an absurd idea of a basketball team and does not reward guards for their hustle!

My issue with this award now isn’t necessarily that it’s position-less.

It’s that Guards, Bigs, and Wings are all tasked with doing different things on defense. Getting steals in open space is different than protecting the rim etc.

I’m not sure how they are voting, and by what metric, if it means Centers will be in the first team every season regardless of how guards are directly impacting games.
