DE-FENSE.

 Okay, so i've been gone a while. I apologize for that (... I guess I'm apologizing to myself, really). I've missed a lot... irregardless (on my mean girls right now), we must move on.

 Dwight Howard and LeBron James made the All-Defensive 1st Team. Great, makes sense. Kobe being number 2 in 1st team votes? Ridiculous. For one, LBJ was number 2 in DOY voting. And Wade was third, leading all guards. So the "3rd best" defender (Wade) in the L is actually only good enough to make it to the All-Defensive 2nd team? I don't know how that makes sense. D-Wade is the shortest player in NBA history to register at least 100 blocks and 100 steals in a season. Actually, no one under 6'5" has ever had 100 blocks in a season. Wade was the first. HOW DOES THAT NOT PUT YOU ON THE NBA 1ST TEAM? 

 I love Kobe; You knew that already. But he doesn't spend every night guarding the opposing team's best player. Last year, during the finals, Kobe defended Rajon Rondo. Why? So that he could assert himself on the offensive end. In the first round of the '08-'09 Western Conference Playoffs, Kobe guarded Ronnie Brewer. RONNIE BREWER. While he does take it upon himself to guard some of the game's premier players, he has not had to do every game, the way Wade has had to. Kobe Bryant belongs on the 2nd team.

 

 KG missed a 1/3 of the season. Arguably the most important part of the year... And while he's still a great team defender, he's not the same player he used to be. 

 Chris Paul? Led the league in steals... if that means you deserve to be on the 1st team, then okay. Do I agree with it? Actually, I don't really care. I'd only give it to Rondo because he's a better rebounder.

 My 1st Team? Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo (or CP3. Really, who cares?), and... 

 BIRDMAN. Yes, Chris Andersen. I know I'm probably in the minority about this one, but this guy is scary on the defensive end. He not only blocks everything, he's annoying, always hustling, and never gives up on a play. I definitely want Chris Andersen playing defense for my team. He's an energy guy, who knows how to use his body in order to change shots and disrupt the opposing team's offensive flow.

2nd Team: KB24, CP3, TD... Yea, I'm done.
