I don't really get Serge Ibaka; yeah he blocks a lot of shots and looks great doing it, but he is always out of position. Personally I think he is about to be exposed against the Spurs as a athletic shot blocker with little actual idea on how to defend.

Its that strange system where media vote for DPOTY and coaches vote for the All-Defensive team, so you end up with two competely different points of view.
You can even have a situation where it is possible for the MVP not to be All-NBA first team!
I think they need to chance the rules, so that the MVP and DPOTY are automatically included in the All-NBA and All-Defensive 1st teams respectively, and the other four spots on each team are left open for voting.

Where is Shawn Marion he guards 4 positions, I would have him in before LBJ, Kobe, Deng or Garnett .

Chris Paul. He reminds me of Shane Heal - talks up D but plays very little!

Absolute joke that Kobe makes the second team over Iguodala, Conley, Marion, shumpert or Paul George
Andre Iguodala should be on the 1st team. Let alone not on the 2nd

Chris Paul 'talks up D'? I guess leading the league in steals is a pretty good way to talk it up.

Biggest joke is kg not being 1st team. He has been the key to boston's d which has been the best in the league since the Allstar break!
