    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Los Angeles Times -
    Houston guard Tracy McGrady was so impressed with the way that teammate Shane Battier played against Kobe Bryant on Sunday that he expects him to make the All-Defensive team, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    "If Shane Battier's not on the All-Defensive team, I'm protesting," McGrady said. "I'm boycotting the All-Defensive team, seriously, because this guy did a phenomenal job on the best scorer in our league."</div>

    I found something about that really funny. Doesn't TMac already boycott defense? [​IMG]

    Battier's been snubbed for basically his entire career.

    Yeah he has, and I was pulling for him to win Defensive Player of the Year last season. But of course, Camby's shot blocking will always override great defense (Battier, Bowen in the past.. and KG this year).
