He was no where near Artest in 09 and 2010, watching both of them Artest was a few levels above Lebron it's not even comparable. Don't know why people overrate his Defense he was never the best defensive SF in the league.

You think Laker Ron Artest was a better defender than LeBron James? Ron Artest was pretty bad that year.

Not in 2010, you might be thinking 2011. I would say Lebron was better than him 2011 but 2010 Artest was playing great defense.

Yeah his defense is really overrated. In 2012 and 2013 his team won without a great rim protector. Actually, he was the one protecting the middle of that D. Can you tell me what other teams won with a star SF doing that job?

No Iguodala anywhere? I think he clearly qualifies for one (I'd say 2009 & 2010 at least, but that's off the top of my head, I'll have to make my list a little later)...

I gave him 2012 and 2014.

Whoops... Didn't see that... :) I personally have a hard time choosing between him and George in 2014. I think it's debatable for LeBron and Iggy in 2011 and '12, too.

Iguodala hasn't appeared much at all on these list. I personally think he was the best defensive wing for a good 3 or 4 seasons.
