Artest, who made his first career appearance on the All-Defensive First Team and second consecutive on the NBA?s All-Defensive Team, is joined on the First Team by the two-time Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons, who was named All-Defensive First Team for the third consecutive season; San Antonio Spurs? guard Bruce Bowen, a four-time All-Defensive Team member; Minnesota Timberwolves? forward Kevin Garnett, who was named All-Defensive First Team for the fifth consecutive season and Los Angeles Lakers? guard Kobe Bryant, who made the First Team for the third time.</div> Link
he deserves it.same for every who made 1st and 2nd team. i'm glad theo made 2nd team, he could/should be 1st team soon if he continues to play how he did for portland.
I like both the teams. But, I was amazed that Duncan was 2nd team. But, than again, Garnett's stats and Wallaces stats did back up their choosing on the 1st team.
^bowen does not get enough credit? how about making the first team, isn't that enough? besides, people have called him a monster on defense like for example phil jackson called him " a foul monster" or something like that, and people always talk about how angry they get whenever bowen is guarding them. not enough credit?
Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant lead NBA All-Defensive Team C - Ben Wallace F - Kevin Garnett F - Ron Artest G - Bruce Bowen G - Kobe Bryant C - Theo Ratliff F - Tim Duncan F - Andrei Kirilenko G - Doug Christie G - Jason Kidd Its good too me, I think maybe Kirielnko on first team as a F, move Artest to Guard would have been beter but its good like this.
