How did Artest NOT make 1st team?He was 2nd in the league in steals with over 2 a game!!!!
Because that is only one aspect of a defensive game. Kobe also had over 2 steals per game, there are other catagories... Kobe had a better block average then all of the above names said.

that must be a joke he even can't defend one of the best scorers in the league Bruce Bowen.
Bowen had 1 good shooting night and your going to base your opinion on that one game? I can point out games where Artest, Iverson and even Ben Wallace all got lit the fuck up, whats your point?

I was thinking the same about A.I. . How could hobe be in the first team and Iverson even wasn't in the second team. But in the defensive player of the year voting A.I. also was in front of hobe that's sum strange shit. But who cares A.I. was the best stealer of the league again for the 3rd straight year.
Dog is it killin' you that much that you can't give the man his dues? All you guys' talk about is not giving him props because he hasnt acomplished this and he hasnt done that. Well here it is, All-NBA first team and First team defense, all you can say is its wrong? Bahahahahaha! I think "Biased" and "Hater" have become understatements.
Everyone is quick to say Kobe can't play defense because of certain games where his opponent scored high points, but thats the case for every good defensive player in the NBA, it happens. The only reason you guys see Kobe doing it is because you watch him under a fucking telescope waiting for something to talk about.
If you read between the lines of Czar's posts he's trying to give him props but can't get himself to directly say it, maybe it will ruin his reputation of a well know hater? Who knows...
