Superstar bias in All-Defense awards in past selections?

[MiamiBulls]

Yes. There's also guys like Chris Paul & Gary Payton where they didn't deserve half of their All Defensive Selections, but back then voters used the logic of: hordes of steals = great defense. Particularly Chris Paul in New Orleans; he was not All Defensive caliber Guard he was simply good at grabbing steals. In Seattle, Payton was running off past reputation by 1998 onwards.
