All Defensive Teams Named

[eMDee92i]

Didn't realize you could have 6 guys on a team

CHandler and Ibaka

Tyson's been average this year, and while Ibaka is good, he's not one of the best. How does Iguodala not make either team?

 

[gho3st]

So the defensive player of the year is on the 2nd team?

That makes no sense

it makes sense when you think about it. Majority of the media is white and will show more bias towards "underdog" or "unlikely (gritty)defender"

Coaches aren't as biased.

Tyson Chandler is white too?

 

[gho3st]

Tyson Chandler is white too?

Coaches vote for All Defensive team.


Media votes for DPOY.

IF coaches were voting for DPOY, Lebron would have won it.

Chandler and Ibaka

no KG

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

did Iggy even finish top 10 in DPOY voting?

 

[PTBG]

at 3 Memphis Grizzles making it though on the 1st and 2nd team. Conley, Allen, & Gasol should all be in discussion to be on all 1st-team defense too.

[Kang Deezy]

Ibaka is an elite shot blocker

But that's it, in general, he might be one of the most overrated players in the league

He's a below average scorer and rebounder

 

[havoc]

When I said that Gasol did not deserve defensive player of the year...dudes were upset with me. I said Noah and Hibbert and possibly even Ibaka was better.

Its obvious that the coaches know more than the media.

If they know more than the media, they wouldn't vote for Chris Paul. Gasol deserves to be in the first team, fam.

 

[Jax]

Lebron got the most votes again? Robbed of DPOY 2 years in a row

 

[Suiken]

Chris Paul a 1st team all defense ?

Maybe they mistook flopping as defense.

 

[Illuminatos' Hairline]

at nikkas saying Kobe should be on there that nikka done robbed someone more deservings spot for years now
