Hollinger's All-Defensive Teams

Varejao made honorable mention for power forwards which is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

He has been hideous on defense all year. His only good attribute on defense is his ability to draw charges, but he doesnt even do that anymore. He was decent earlier in the year, but since coming back from his injury he's been garbage on both ends of the floor.

LeBron needs to be in at least the honorable mention for small forwards. LeBron is far and away the best defender on the Cavs, so if Varejao can make honorable mention, LeBron deserves at least that much (I realize they play different positions).

I thought that all of his voting was terrible. Why was Tony Parker an honorable mention at PG? Has he gotten any better on D? Because if he hasnt, it's pathetic to include him.

But who cares? Defense is like, less than half of the NBA game! It's worth so much less than offense.

Then why do the the suns never win the title? While the Pistons have?

It's a shame these defensive teams are so stat-driven. Marcus Camby's not even the best defensive player on his own team. K-Mart should be on there.

Where's SJAx on this team? And if Dooling's there, you might as well have Baron there.
