HOLLINS GIGS RANDOLPH Hollins told star forward Zach Randolph, who is not known for his defense, that Randolph had made honorable mention on the NBA's all-defense team. “I did?” Randolph enthusiastically responded, according to Hollins. No, the coach said, “I'm just kidding.” But three Grizzlies did make the squad. Tony Allen was first team; Marc Gasol and Mike Conley were second team. “It says we're a good defensive team,” Hollins said. Ironically, Gasol was named the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, an award voted on by media. Coaches vote for the all-defense team. “I guess coaches see something different,” Hollins said. http://newsok.com/okc-thunder-kevin...ses-russell-westbrook/article/3809699/?page=2

it makes no sense that you think the media should vote like the coaches. Why would they? They really see the game different, and coaches know better.
Also honorable mentions at the NBA All Vertical Leap Team, the NBA All Exciting Players To Watch Team, NBA All Dunk Team annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd the NBA All Muscle Definition Team.
