3:15pm, 23 May 2025Basketball
The league announced the list of defensive teams of the year today, with Green, Amen, Dort, Mobley and Daniels selected for the first defense, and Zubac, Gobert, Jewish, Jaren Jackson and Kamala selected for the second defense. This is the eighth time Gobert has been selected for the Best Defensive Team in his career. Although many players think he is overrated, his defense is indeed very helpful to the team. Speaking of this, do you know who are the 10 players selected for the Best Defensive Team? Let’s take a look together.
The Tenth Dream Chasing
Dream Chasing was selected into the Best Defense Team in total, 5 of which were first defense. In fact, there are several people in history who were selected into the Defensive Team as he did 9 times. We will not introduce them too much here, such as Bobby Jones and Dennis Johnson, and they also 9 times. Chasing dreams is the key to the rise of the small ball era. He can play at the 5th position at 1.98 meters tall and defending against the big center is indeed great. He has won DPOY, and has averaged 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block in his career, and has won the 1st steal king.
Ninth Paul
Old Cannon is one of the point guards with the most best defense lineups in history. He was selected for a total of 9 times, including 7 of which were selected for the best defense. Paul is the most comprehensive point guard in history, with the ability to hold the ball, top-level organization and top-level defense. Paul is the player with the most steals in history, with a total of 6 times and averaging 17 points, 4.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2 steals per game in his career. Although Paul has no championship in his career, his strength should be recognized.
8th Peyton
Payton was also selected as the best defense 9 times, but in terms of defensive ability, he is the strongest point guard in history. The reason for saying this is that he was selected as the first defense 9 times, with the most point guards in history. Payton's scoring ability is also very strong, but his organizational ability is not as good as Paul, but he has won DPOY and was able to limit Jordan to a certain extent at his peak. He averaged 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game in his career.
7th Olajuwon
As the best center player in history with offense and defense, Olajuwon has also been selected for the best defense team nine times. If it weren't for too many top inside gates at that time, he could have been selected more times. After all, he is the king of blocks in history and has won two DPOYs. Olajuwon has been selected for the first defense for a total of 5 times. He averaged 21.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.1 blocks in his career. By the way, he is a center forward and has entered the top ten in history.
Sixth Jordan
Jordan was also selected for the Best Defensive Team 9 times, and all of them were selected for the Best Defensive Team. As the first person in history, Jordan has no solution to his offense and his defense is quite strong. He has won the Best Defensive Player Award and won the King of Stealing 3 times. He averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in his career. He averaged 2.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in his career playoffs.
Fifth Pippen
If Pi Erye had not played support for Jordan, he would probably have won many honors. Pippen has been selected for the Best Defensive Team 10 times, including 8 of which were the most among all small forwards in history. Although Pippen does not have an award like the Best Defensive Team player, his defensive influence at his peak is not inferior to Jordan at all. Pippen can average 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2 steals and 0.8 blocks in his career, and has won one steal king.
Fourth Jabbar,
Jabbar has been selected as the best defense team in a total of 11 times in his career. He has been selected as the first defense five times and second defense six times. As the first center in history, he can rank in this position not only because of more MVPs and more points, but also excellent in other dimensions. There were no block counts in the early stage of his career. Even so, his total block count has reached the third in history. He averaged 24.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2 block counts in his career. He averaged 24.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2 block counts in his career.
The third Garnett
Garnett has been selected into the best defensive team 12 times. He has been selected into the first defense nine times, with the most power forwards in history. Garnett particularly considers him to be thin. Like Durant, he is a player with muscles all over his body. Although he is thin, his ability to fight is not bad at all, and his speed is very fast. Therefore, he is also one of the most comprehensive defenders in history. Garnett has won one DPOY and has a game average of 17.8 points, 10 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in his career.
Second Kobe
Kobe has also been selected for the Best Defense Team 12 times, and he has also been selected for the Best Defense 9 times. In the entire 2000s, Kobe almost won one team and one defense, and his ability is worthy of being selected many times. After all, he was the number one player in the league at that time. The reason why Kobe is called the closest player to Jordan in history is not only because he knows all Jordan's offensive skills, but also his defense is very close to Jordan. Kobe averaged 25 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game in his career.
No. 1 Duncan
Although Duncan does not have DPOY, he is the player with the most best defense team in history. He has 8 first defenses and 7 second defenses, and the number of times he has been selected for the defense team has reached 15 times. If Duncan had not been praised by the media, he would have been able to win DPOY. Duncan relied on his 19-year offensive and defensive dominance to help the team reach the playoffs in 2019. Duncan averaged 19 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.2 blocks in his career.
