LeBron James finished fourth for Defensive Player of the Year, which was voted upon by the writers.
He did win the most votes for the All-Defensive Team, which was voted upon by the coaches.
James is joined on the First Team by Serge Ibaka, Dwight Howard, Tony Allen and Chris Paul.
Missing?
Tyson Chandler, the Defensive Player of the Year.
Chandler’s on the Second Team, with Kevin Garnett, Luol Deng, Rajon Rondo and Kobe Bryant.
Dwyane Wade got one first-place vote, but finished back in the pack.
Bigger snubs: Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala.
Just to show that the coaches aren’t necessarily more informed — or interested — than the writers, Carlos Boozer somehow received one vote.
