Time Duncan... LOL
I take it you think he's getting old. :)

Hinrich at #10 is a fucking joke.

Hinrich at #10 is a fucking joke.
Thank you.
And I know superstat guys are all about shane, but I have a hard time putting him about Bowen, let alone any of the big guys above him. Standard stats have to count for something.

It's a mom thing. We all know what Hinrich's mom looks like...
Mutumbo was a great defensive force last decade, not so much this one.
Ben and Artest should be higher than Battier and Garnet.

It'd be more fun to see the 10 best defensive plays of this decade.

Tay's swat on Reggie has to be number one, if anyone decides to compile a list using YouTube.

One of my favorite defensive plays was Gerald Wallace blocking a Shaq dunk head on.

I doubt they'll do one of the worst defenders of the last decade, but if they did...
1. Steve Nash
2. Steve Nash (he's that bad)
3. Amar'e Stoudemire
4. Eddy Curry
5. Leandro Barbosa
6. Gilbert Arenas
7. Ray Allen
8. Mike Bibby
9. Dirk Nowitzki
10. Michael Redd
Earl Boykins, J.R. Smith, Antoine Walker are both pretty bad

Barbosa doesn't belong on that list. He's a decent defender, better than Ben Gordon AFAICT.

LOL @ The Spurs. Bowen is, what, 52 next month?

Yeah...Ben's block was better.
