2010-11 NBA All-Defensive Team


The 2010-11 NBA All-Defensive Team was announced on Monday. The 1st team consists of Dwight Howard (4th time), Rajon Rondo (3rd time), LeBron James (3rd time), Kobe Bryant (11th time) and Kevin Garnett (11th time). Bryant and Garnett tied Michael Jordan and Gary Payton for most 1st team selections at 9 times. I agree with the 1st team selection. Dwight Howard got 56 points out of 58 possible, he averaged 10.1 DRPG (2nd in NBA), 2.4 BPG (2nd in NBA) and 1.4 SPG (T-18th in NBA). Rajon Rondo got 39 points out 58 possible, he averaged 3.1 DRPG, 0.2 BPG and 2.3 SPG (2nd in NBA). LeBron James got 38 points out 58 possible, he averaged 6.5 DRPG (T-20th in NBA), 0.6 BPG and 1.6 SPG (T-9th in NBA). Kevin Garnett got 33 points out 58 possible, he averaged 7.8 DRPG (5th in NBA), 0.8 BPG and 1.3 SPG (T-22nd in NBA). Kobe Bryant got 33 points out 58 possible, he averaged 4.1 DRPG, 0.2 BPG and 1.2 SPG (T-26th in NBA).
The All-Defensive 2nd team consists of Tony Allen (1st time), Chris Paul (3rd time), Tyson Chandler (1st time), Andre Iguodala (1st time) and Joakim Noah (1st time). I agree with the 2nd expect I think Tony Allen should be replaced with Dwyane Wade, who got 14 points and just missed the 2nd team. Tony Allen got 23 out of 58 possible, he averaged 1.7 DPRG, 0.6 BPG, 1.8 SPG (T-5th in NBA). Chris Paul got 18 points out of 58 possible, he averaged 3.6 DRPG, 0.1 BPG and 2.4 SPG (1st in NBA). Tyson Chandler got 17 points out of 58 possible, he averaged 6.6 DRPG (T-17th in NBA), 1.1 BPG (T-24th in NBA) and 0.5 SPG (T-18th in NBA). Andre Iguadala got 15 points out of 58 possible, he averaged 4.9 DRPG, 0.6 BPG and 1.5 SPG (T-11th in NBA). Joakim Noah got 15 points out of 58 possible, he averaged 6.6 DRPG (T-17th in NBA), 1.5 BPG (T-16th in NBA) and 1.0 SPG. I assume all of these will continue to compete for this honor. Next year Bryant and Garnett can break the record for most 1st team selections.
