Kobe Finishes 5th in Defensive Player of the Year Voting

Here are the results from the NBA defensive player of the year voting. Kobe finished 5th, with Kevin Garnett taking the bulk of the voting. I believe it is rightfully deserved because he did change the defensive mentality over there in white town.

Kobe has been very lacksidasical in his defense this year, often cheating off his man to double team to play the ball, and then causing his man to score or get a wide open shot. Regardless of that, he still is among the best in the league, no one can be perfect.

Kobe is still top in the running for MVP, it should be announced beginning of round 2.
