This makes me Kobe on the list and T-Mac not look at the numbers here Kobe 6rpg, 1.32st, .82blk T-Mac 6.2rpg, 1.73st, .67blk Who ever makes these decisions for the NBA is blind; I am tiered of seeing Kobe on the all defensive team. It's a laugh I am out!!!!
I told you before: it is a "media" thing. They will shove Kobe, Garnett, and Lebron into ANYTHING they can. And people wonder why the NBA has little/no credibility anymore
I think he was probably talking about the "Fan Voting 2005: Defensive Player of the Year" on nba.com. They listed 10 NBA players for fans to vote who is the defenseive play of the year. They don't have Tmac on the list. Bruce Bowen, San Antonio Spurs An All-Defensive Team member four seasons running, Bowen¡¯s never been a numbers guy (3.5 rpg, 0.7 spg, 0.5 bpg) but remains a stellar perimeter stopper. Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers One of the top rebounders (5.9 rpg) and shot-blockers (0.8 bpg) at the guard position, Bryant (1.3 spg) has earned five consecutive All-Defensive Team honors with his smothering D. Marcus Camby, Denver Nuggets Ranking first in total blocks (193) and second in defensive rebounds per 48 minutes (12.6), Camby¡¯s finally looking for respect after never having received a defensive accolade. Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs Duncan (11.3 rpg, 2.7 bpg) has garnered Defensive Team honors every year of his career but has yet to earn the coveted DPOY award. Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves The only player in the league to be named First-Team All-Defense the last five seasons, Garnett is first this year in rebounds per game (13.8) in addition to contributing 1.4 blocks and 1.5 steals per outing. Larry Hughes, Washington Wizards Leads the NBA in steals on both a per game (2.8) and 48-minute (3.5) basis, while adding 6.4 rebounds a night. Allen Iverson, Philadelphia 76ers Iverson¡¯s second in the NBA in steals per game (2.5) and, some would say, No. 1 in toughness. He has led the league in steals three times. Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns Marion is on pace to become only the second player (David Robinson, 1991-92) to rank in the top five in rebounds (11.5 rpg, 3rd) and steals (2.0, 4th). He also posts 1.4 bpg. Shaquille O¡¯Neal , Miami Heat Having magically reversed the fortunes of the Miami Heat this season, O¡¯Neal is fifth in rebounds (10.6 rpg) and second in total blocks (169). Ben Wallace, Detroit Pistons Two-time Defensive Player of the Year is second in rebounds (12.1 rpg), sixth in blocks (2.4) and 21st in steals (1.4 spg). http://www.nba.com/features/awards2005_defensive.html
