    Well, those players have all gotten DPOY award, so my answer would be no. But are we comparing Yao to the best? Or to players who never get all-defensive teams?

    For example, you use Shawn Marion as your example. Marion played in the same era as forwards Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Bruce Bowen, Ron Artest, Shane Battier, Tayshaun Prince, and Lebron James.

    What makes Marion better than those players on D?

    Did Michael Cooper or Bill Hanzlick make any defensive teams? I remember them being pests. And speaking of pests, Darrell Armstrong is another one, maybe

    Tracy McGrady back when he actually cared to defend.

    No longer so! Pringles now devotes 30 mins of training exclusively for defensive purposes. 30 mins!
