    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Bryant is probably the most overrated defensive player in NBA history. He's capable of good defense, but there's no way he's one of the several greatest defenders ever.

    Seriously a joke that bryant would get named first team over Tony Allen or Andre Iguodola.

    It really does baffle me that the coaches continually vote him on the All-Defensive team.

    If they named a 3rd team, Wallace would be on it. Look at Wesley getting 2 first team votes as well!

    Chuck Hayes not getting atleast 2nd team is a travesty in my book. He always held bigs under their average.

    The fact that Rose and Westbrook are on there with quiet a few votes is a travisty. Both of them have constantly been lite up for there lack of defensive. Guess going for steals constantly with sacrificing your man to man defense gets you a good amount of votes.

    Being a popular star gets you a lot of votes, often.

    Strange that we have 3 perimeter players get votes for all-defensive teams, yet our team perimeter defense was pretty terrible. Is it a defensive scheme problem?

    Who are these coaches and do they know anything about NBA basketball?

    I'm guessing all these coaches are Laker homers.

    I think the players should vote for the all-defensive team. What the hell do the coaches know?

    The All-Defensive team is habitually a joke. It's always "name" players. At least Rondo beat out Chris Paul this year, although that's probably because Rondo became a "name" player.

    What should the REAL all-defense team look like? Tony Allen should almost certain be on the first team, but who else?

    Should be Aaron Affalo, Tony Allen, Andre Igoudala, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard as first team imo.
