KG and Rondo named All-Defensive First Team

cmac44111 · May 9, 2011

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but two of the C’s top defensive cogs were selected to be a part of the league’s top defensive unit, as voted by the 30 NBA head coaches. The coaches were given two points for every first team vote and one point for every second team vote.

This was the second first-team honor for Rajon Rondo and the 9th overall for Kevin Garnett, which ties Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Gary Payton for the most in NBA history.
