Okay? Collecting a lot of steals usually means u suck at defense.

^^NIK w/ a player like Iverson I would agree that would be a accurate assessment but its not always true obviously, look at Ron Artest, no way what you said applies to him but yeah overall you are right that alot of players get credit for being good defensive players just cause they have alot of steals which can be misleading.

Props Kobe 8)

It doesn't apply to everyone, but Paul's steals are usually coming off of gambles...dude CANNOT stay in front of his man. the fact that he made the 2nd team over Chauncey Billups is ridiculous.

I'd like to have Battier on the Lakers team ... he's always make his opponent takes tough shots without fouling and can shoot the open 3.. we should get rid of Mihm, Vlad , Coby and trade em for Battier :laugh:

Oh I completely agree, As amazing as Paul is he had no business being on a All-Nba defensive team.

Josh Smith does deserve to be at least second team, but you cant argue with any of the forwards that made either teams IMO, although I think Battier should have been first team
-
^you can argue that Duncan doesn't belong on any team, let alone first team. Ron Artest shoulda' made it over Raja Bell and Chauncey Billups over Chris Paul.

Am I the only one who thinks Raja Bell is overrated defensively?

No.

Deron Williams is also a much better defender than Paul.
-
baron davis is a better defender than paul
-
baron davis is a better defender than paul
hell yeah he is. I think Baron is a very good defender, I think he is even w/ Williams as best pg in league after Paul.
-
of course duncan deserves to be on there, his baseline rotations are impeccable.
-
Duncan definitely deserved to be on a All-Nba defensive team, just not the 1st team.
-
^^ so he didnt deserve his other 9 slections or are you saying just for this year?
