Kobe made it on the all-defense first team again. Does anyone else in
this group wonder how that happened. Kobe used to be a good defender,
but those days have long passed.

Spurs' Duncan and Bowen highlight All-Defensive team
April 30, 2007
NEW YORK (AP) -- Tim Duncan made his 10th straight NBA All-Defensive
first team Wednesday, and San Antonio teammate Bruce Bowen was the top
vote-getter in being selected for the seventh time.
Completing the team were: Denver Nuggets center Marcus Camby and
guards Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and Raja Bell of the
Phoenix Suns.

Bowen, a forward, received 42 votes, six more than Duncan. Camby, the
Defensive Player of the Year, was chosen for the first time.
"Honestly, besides winning a championship, that was the only other
goal I had," said Camby, who had made the All-Defensive second team
the last two seasons.
Bryant earned his seventh selection and Bell his first.
Duncan is tied with former Chicago Bull Scottie Pippen for the second
most All-Defensive team selections. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is first with
11.
Bowen and Duncan helped the Spurs hold opponents to 90.1 points (first
in the NBA) and .433 shooting from the field (third). San Antonio has
finished in the top five in both categories in each of Duncan's 10
seasons.
Camby led the NBA in blocks per game (3.30) and was tied for fourth in
rebounds (11.7). Bryant ranked 17th in steals (1.44). Bell often
matches up against the opposition's best offensive player.
The second team was: Chicago's Ben Wallace and Kirk Hinrich, New
Jersey's Jason Kidd, Detroit's Tayshaun Prince and Minnesota's Kevin
Garnett.
Voting was done by the league's 30 head coaches, who were not allowed
to vote for their own players.
Guess the Coaches know something you don't...
