http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/basketball/nba/05/11/defensive.team.ap/index.html NEW YORK (AP) -- San Antonio guard Bruce Bowen accumulated the most points in balloting for the NBA's All-Defensive squad. He had one more than Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace after both received 26 first-team mentions in the voting by the league's 30 head coaches. Bowen was named to the first team for a sixth straight year and Wallace is making his fifth appearance in a row. Bowen is joined in the backcourt by Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and New Jersey's Jason Kidd, who finished tied in the voting. The forwards are Utah's Andrei Kirilenko and Sacramento's Ron Artest. The second team consists of San Antonio's Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett of Minnesota and Detroit's Tayshaun Prince in the front court, Marcus Camby at center, with Detroit guard Chauncey Billups rounding things out. So Bowen has more points in balloting for the NBA's All-Defensive squad and Ben Wallace won the Defensive player of the year As someone predicted, Kidd is again defensive first team..... think he was selected majority based on his reps....
6 players on the all-nba defensive 1st team? i didnt know you could have more than 5 players on an all-nba team
I guess Kobe and Kidd's points were equal. But Kobe had way more 1st team votes...shouldn't that push Kidd to the 2nd team?? Wierd. That means one Tayshaun Prince was lucky to make the 2nd team. I guess they are trying to make up for Prince being the only Pistons starter not on the All-Star team
