Funny that they all hate though since it is their coaches that vote from my understanding.

lol... the GB must be blowing up.

Kobe didn't deserve to make any All-Defensive team this year (neither did Jordan or Payton late in their careers). Last year I thought he probably deserved 2nd team at best since the Lakers did actually have great perimeter defense, but this year our perimeter defense was absolutely horrid and he should have been left off completely.

Still, I can't believe they gave him votes.

... and Noah at F? Haha...

Ridiculous. He didn't deserve to be selected at all, let alone the first team.

He sure did an excellent job at guarding himself sometimes.

As much as I love Kobe, he definitely didn't deserve this. Wade/Iggy/Tony Allen got robbed.

Wish we could have gotten our All-NBA defender to stay in the same area code as Jason Terry.

Yeah, because that would have caused Gasol to show up this post-season.

Hahaha, silly awards.

I agree that he didn't deserve this at all, but then again many players get awards that they don't actually deserve

What does that have to do with this particular topic?

Nothing, just like Jason Terry.

Really? Is Jason Terry a center?
