Artest should have been here.
This is not a good list if don’t have 1 on the premier defenders on this list.
Ask anyone in the NBA if Ron Artest is should be on the list.
Ask Durant.
If Lebron James is on this list and Thabo Sefolosha (who KB24 torched)and Josh Smith. Please tell me why Ron Artest is not on this list?

Anyone who expects awards voted on by anyone but the players has a serious lack of understanding of the definition of fan (of of paid fan – talking head).

kirk hinrich (2nd team), ron artest (1st team), josh smith(1st team).
all three deserve to be there. according to the players, ron artest is the toughest defender in the NBA. josh smith was a runner-up for DPOY, and kirk hinrich is the BEST defender at his position.

Okay, how is Josh Smith the runner-up for ‘Defensive Player of the Year’, yet NOT on the All-Defensive First Team???
Do these sportswriters REALLY pay attention???

Artest belongs in there too.
