lol at arguing over regular season awards for Lebron. At this point, the regular season awards are more embarrassing than anything else until he wins a title. And if he doesn't this year, it will be the 2nd team that he's blown up because he can't get it done when it counts.

i can't get excited about anything he does until he gets that ring. he's had maybe the greatest nine year start to a career stats-wise in nba history but it all seems very hollow without the championship

If LeBron could guard the Center position then we would have beat the Magic in 09. Stop with that nonsense... He's complaining about guarding David West because it's taxing. You honestly think he could guard Bynum, Howard, Lopez, etc..?

lol

LeBron being named first team D was well deserved. He can effectively guard 1-4 positions on the court. The 5? That's a reach.

People should be complaining more about Chandler making 2nd team. Wtf is that shit!?:laugh:

Has there been an explanation yet? It really is inexcusable.

They should combine the votes. That's why the system is a joke.

Except having different media/coaches awards and teams isn't just an NBA thing.

Depends on which media people they use. If they are using people like Hubie Brown,Mike Fratello, JVG, Chris Mullins, SAS, Tim Legler and Jalen Rose and other TV media then they would know. They see many more games than head Coaches do.

While I dont disagree with you, LBJ can guard the 1-4, my biggest issue with him being first team all def is that he really only plays def in the 4th or in crunch time minutes. Majority of the game, he plays a weaker offensive player. For example against the Lakers when he was a Cav, he wouldn't guard Kobe, hell a lot of the time he would guard Fisher which is just a joke. To be first team all D I think he should be guarding Kobe. His help defense is pretty damn good. He has the skills to be top defender player but only does it 4 min a game.

I think the bigger joke is Dwade being nominated. He just lets guys go by him and cherry picks. He doesn't even play defense anymore. Lebron is about the best off the ball defender that I can ever remember. His on the ball is average at best, but he can do so much to help off the ball, that he is pretty elite. He is also a fucking dbag(i couldnt compliment him without qualifying it)

QFT. Chris Paul being nominated is also a reach. Esp with rondo only being 2nd team. SMH Rondo is a far superior defensive player.

Definitely. No way CP3 should ever be nominated anywhere a all-NBA defensive team.

Dexter Pittman shouldn't be suspended for 3 games. The Heat should be forced to play him 48 minutes/game for the next 3 games.

I'd trust the coaches word better than the medias when it comes to all defensive teams or anything else but that's just me.
