@SamTheMan67: Come on, man, I was kidding  . I've watched more games recently and I have no problem to admit that LeBron has vastly improved his defense (and his "clutchness" too for that matter) and I'd probably see nothing wrong with him getting 2nd All-D team. However, I wouldn't quite call them "equal" on defense just yet. But, to each his own I guess.
At least this year we have 3, 4 or maybe even 5 MVP-worthy candidates... opposed to previous years.

I just watched kobe when he had shaq and how elite of a defender he was, then the years following where he wasn't a crappy defender but he just couldn't exert enough to be the defender of old. The year where he scored 35ppg he was terribly overrated on defense. This year its picking up again, but its all about your rep and if the media praised lebron for being an amazing defender everyone would begin to watch and notice
