Also selected to the All-Defensive First Team are forward LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers (45 points), Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (34 points) and Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace (30 points).

Crash was third overall and still LeBron had more points? Glad he made it but he should have way more points.

Congratulations Crash! It is both overdue and well-deserved.

In my opinion he should have been all defensive first team for at least the past 3 seasons.

[ammofan]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! Represent!

[ND22]

That's a big honor for him, congratulations Gerald!

Felton and Jack got some votes too.

way to go gerald!

first time i have ever edited a Wikipedia page!

I wonder if Wallace can make a habbit of this =o

Also, does it bother anyone else that Kobe manages to get on all the all Defense team every year?

[LiquidWayno]

Kobe doesn't even get the toughest defensive assignment on his own team, his spot should have gone to Thabo on the 1st team....the fact Lebron made 1st team over Josh Smith is also ridiculous. Pietrus or Luc Richard Mbah Moute were both more deserving than him, all he does is those rundown goaltends.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Seriously though. Making a big name for yourself on the offensive end makes a 1st team defender

makes me mad

[Plowright]

Great new and Deserved. Shows that his hard work does pay off.

[Dcarnys]

This is huge. Congrats Crash.

[teej]

Congrats to Gerald, you deserve it! Forget everyone else, we have the best SF defender in the league.

[Scottley Crue]

That is some lofty company to be in. Gerald definitely deserves it and I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves. This is great news for both him and the Bobcats.

[davcbow]

Yeah they finally realize how good GW is...About time too... Way to go GW!!:cool:

[gforce33]

good news :)

[BRNC]

We make the play-offs...some of our players (deservedly) begin to get recognition...bodes well for the future...Congratulations Crash...:)

[spectre]

Finally! Crash has been snubbed for a couple of years now, so it's nice that he's finally getting the recognition he so deserves.

IMO those high rebounding numbers at the beginning of the season got people's attention.

[King Taharqa]

Congrats to Gerald. Its an absolute joke Kobe makes this team when the Lakers put Artest on the other team's best player so Kobe doesnt have to guard them and can stay "fresh".

[Orlando Juice]

Congrats to Gerald. Well deserved.

[Ampsportsduo]

Perhaps I'm being greedy, but I wish LBj would've gotten left off. That would really have been a story if the lone SF was Crash.

Like Denzel Washington says as Frank Lucas "my man".
Gerald has achieved-and i have always had this in my mind since the day i heard it-2 of the 3 things he said he wanted to achieve during his time in the NBA.
1.Make the All Defensive Team
2.Be an All Star
His third one was to win an NBA Championship.
