Lebron, while an improved defensive player should not be anywhere near All-Defensive 1st this year. His forward position should've gone to Artest.

I didn't think he even got enough court time to play defense? yeah, Rondo got shafted.

Secondly, the media canbe fucked because in the Rookie of the Year vote someone voted for FROPEZ. Not Brook....Robin. Robin Lopez. The journalists are meant to follow the league. Surely they can spot the difference between an emerging talented big man on the east and a benchwarmer from the west. FFS Lebron’s defence has improved, but I don’t he is a first-teamer.
