Answer 10

garnett and yao

Answer 11

I always thought it was Shane Battier, he can shut down the best. Bruce Bowen is the other obvious answer.  

Answer 12

tyshaun prince and ron artest

Answer 13

I am going to go with 4-time defensive player of the year:

"Big" Ben Wallace.

I like KG and everything, but he's obviously wasn't supposed to be Defensive player of the year.

I think Ron Artest and Marcus Camby are good, as well, but not better than Ben Wallace.

Answer 14

In man to man defense it would be Tayshaun Prince. He made team USA for his defense. Last year they picked Shane Battier and this year they picked Tayshaun Prince. Kevin Garnett is the best "blocker" and defensive.

Answer 15

I think he is the dirtiest player ever but I gotta go Bruce Bowen as best defender. He really shuts down players (sometimes illegally but still gets it done)

Answer 16

marcus camby

13.1rbds

3.6 blks

1.1spg

Answer 17

I would have to say Chris Paul because he as the most steals in the nba for the 2007-2008 basketball season.

Answer 18

Kobe. He's an underrated defender but after the olympics people will finally start to realize how great of a defender he really is.

Answer 19

Bruce Bowen aka "Mr. I dropped kick Wally Szczerbiak"

Answer 20

In my opinion Kobe Bryant just cuz he won MVP.

Answer 21

My opinion doesn't matter here.  What matter is that KG was already voted the Best Defensive Player for the recent season.

Answer 22

Kevin Garnett

Answer 23

Top 5:

1. Ron Artest - Most physical and talented defender in the league

2. Bruce Bowen - Used to be the best, but lost alot of footwork cause of age; still is the best perimeter defender in the game.

3. Shane Battier - Lock-down D

4. Tayshaun Prince - Versatile defender

5. Kevin Garnett - Defensive player of year for a reason

Answer 24

KG.. i think 'Defensive Player of The Year' explains it pretty well.. oh and just wondering how well did kobe guard Ray Allen.. hmmmm

Answer 25

Raja Bell because he's just like Bowen except not as dirty.

Answer 27

Shane has to be the best defender he always seems to either shut down the best offensive players or slows them down. He should have been in the first all NBA defensive team Kobe ripped him off

Answer 28

Bruce Bowen- keep calling him dirty when he's shutting down your top players.
