2007/2008 NBA All Defensive Teams

1st Team:

Kobe Bryant
Marcus Camby
Bruce Bowen
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett

2nd Team:

Shane Battier
Chris Paul
Dwight Howard
Tayshaun Prince
Raja Bell

Hm...pretty solid. Will only argue with one of the picks. Although I've jumped on the CP3 wagon on the Hornets play-off run, I just don't see how he's managed to make 2nd team. Billups, D. Williams and Andre Miller are all better defensive point guards, in my opinion.

I think it's one of those instances where his offense helped him make the team. Sort of how Pujols and Jeter keep winning gold gloves year after year. Sure they're good on defense but their offensive numbers factor into the equation whether or not they should.

How did Josh Smith not get at least 2nd team?! He was a beast with the blocks all year long.
