We've been through this. And I know you link to stuff you don't agree with. Hell you didn't agree with the stuff I wrote for you but you still posted it. I know you're fair.

So did Krolik. But I don't think either one of you "proved" anything. There are too many unquantifiable variables on the defensive end. That said, I'm in agreement with both of you. LeBron has played All-NBA caliber defense this season. But I don't need to look opposing players' PER ratings or Cleveland's point differential when he's off the floor. I've watched him lock people down and play great helpside defense all season. I have him second on my DPOY ballot. From what I've seen, most analysts have placed James right behind Dwight Howard. I disagreed with the premise of your blog because you insisted that Rosen "insulted" LeBron by placing him behind Kobe and Wade. Also, this may come as a surprise to you, but I link to things I disagree with all the time. ;) Tsunami:

I'm kinda sad now. Oh well, at least the truth is getting out there, regardless of whom it's coming from. Wow – truehoop linked to it as well….
