Kevin Calabro(ESPN Radio) and Stephanie Ready(Bobcats sideline reporter) gave James Harden his two votes.

she's so fine. she's forgiven. baby girl can put steve nash on the all-defensive team for all i care.

he's a really good defensive point guard.

i feel bad for lebron. he's the most human superstar we've had. guys like Kobe and MJ are psychos on some Goku/Vegata super saiyin tip. they prolly would be happy to see Leonard checking back in the game so they can test themselves at full power against a worthy opponent. bron on the other hand is on that Krillin tip. he's logical and scared of challenges.

Iguodala is the most overrated defensive player in the NBA. He wasn't even the best perimeter defender on his damn team

Any unbiased observer whose watched Lebron enough and looked at his statistics knows he's had a really bad year defensively. Of course when he really applies himself he can be really good, but at best this year he's been mediocre.

According to exclusive Vantage Sports data Haberstroh's using, LeBron has kept his man in front of him on drives just 40 percent of the time—the league median is 50 percent. He's also been beaten back on defense 2.8 times per game, way ahead of the league average. We don't have LeBron's career numbers (or what would have to be a gigantic number for Dwyane's transition defense), but it's safe to say that those are well below where James has been the past several years.

The rest of the stats tell a similar story. His defensive win shares are the lowest since his rookie year in Cleveland, when he was 19. His defensive rating (a rough estimate of points allowed) is tied with 2007-08 as the worst he's had. And Real Plus-Minus puts him at 0.21 points per 100 worse than league average. SportVU has him giving up baskets at the rim 51.7 percent of the time on 2.8 attempts per game, which is about average, though that particular stat is noisy, especially for wing players, because it's based on proximity to the offensive player. His block percentage—a better measure than his lousy raw block stats here, since the Heat have actually played at a relatively slow pace—is terrible. (We'll just note here that while James's overall defense has slipped, his steal percentage has been steady at career average.)
