<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bulls led the NBA in defensive shooting percentage for the second straight year but again did not have anyone make the league?s all-defensive team. Guard Kirk Hinrich was the only Bulls player to receive any votes from NBA head coaches, collecting 7 overall and 3 first-team votes. Hinrich finished behind 16 other players in the balloting. The 2006 all-defensive first-team includes Detroit?s Ben Wallace, San Antonio?s Bruce Bowen, Sacramento?s Ron Artest, Utah?s Andrei Kirilenko, New Jersey?s Jason Kidd and the Lakers? Kobe Bryant. The second-team features Chauncey Billups and Tayshaun Prince from Detroit, San Antonio?s Tim Duncan, Denver?s Marcus Camby and Minnesota?s Kevin Garnett. It?s a girl: Bulls center Tyson Chandler and his wife, Kimberly, welcomed their first child Saturday. Sacha-Marie Chandler checked in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. Chandler most likely would have missed the birth of his daughter if the Bulls-Heat playoff series required a Game 7, which was scheduled for May 6 in Miami. The Gordon gulp: Bulls guard Ben Gordon is planning to launch his own energy drink, called ?BG7,? made with pure organic Chinese white tea. ?I would drink some other energy drink and after games I would just crash,? Gordon said in The New York Post. ?I talked to other players and they experienced the same thing, feeling all shaky and exhausted. This gives you the boost you need but keeps you at an even level.?</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
Sucks we didn't have any. Hinrich should have made it or atleast been higher. Ben Gordon: Energy drink sounds cool, "BG7".
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting SP23:</div><div class="quote_post">Sucks we didn't have any.

Hinrich does not get enough credit, probably one of the most underrated defenders in the league. I think he definitely should have gotten some more votes, but I don?t know if I would have put him on the team though, because all the guys that where named to it where pretty deserving. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Ben Gordon: Energy drink sounds cool, "BG7".</div> Wonder how many places it's actually going to be sold at. Probably only in Illinois.
Yeah, there were deserving guys up there. That's pretty much why I also put or atleast higher. Hopefully next season if he plays even better he will. Hopefully they sell it near my town so I can try it out.

I heard before that Raja Bell had the most offensive fouls drawn during one of the playoff games and I was like Noc should be somewhere up there and he's 2nd. We have the top trio in the league, nice feat.
