	No matter how many times I take an NBA quiz I can never, ever remember how to spell Havlicek.

	ArtVandaley:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT	3 points
	never would have guessed the 2004 guy for WAS.

	sammyhain2364:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 19:47 GMT	0 points
	If only I would have known how to spell Debusschere. I could picture Roundfield but for the life of me couldn't remember his name. Very surprised that Was Unseld never was a first team defensive player. Overall very pleased with my 196/211

	Robert_Lo:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 19:59 GMT	1 point
	Regarding the quiz subtitle, the saying is actually "offense wins games, defense wins championships", which is true most of the time.

	Pats4Life:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	6 points
	@Mcory- C'mon you forgot about half of Jason Kidd and Doug Christie?

	ad808:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 21:46 GMT	2 points
	I think I picked every Sacramento King except Doug Christie. I even typed in Peja Stojakovic's name a couple of times. Nice that Bill Laimbeer never made the team.

	nageorge03:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	6 points
	shane battier is overlooked yearly

	drpickem:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 22:16 GMT	1 point
	Outstanding quiz. Missed a few of the more recent guys on the list, and I've never heard of E.C. Coleman (76-77), but I'm very happy with 204/211.

	omnipotent1:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 22:33 GMT	1 point
	Robert, you need both to win a championship.

	iamneat:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 01:11 GMT	3 points
	If offense wins games and defense wins championships, who wins the championship game?

	kthejoker:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 04:02 GMT	10 points
	How does the all-time leader in steals never make an All-Defense team?

	kagomeshuko:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 04:13 GMT	-1 points
	I hope you like and enjoy my quizzes! I'd love to be on the front page some day, so I'd love if you'd nominate the quiz if you like it! Thanks!I hope you like my quizzes!

	Bouchkilele:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 22:21 GMT	4 points
	The only guy I missed after 1988 was Larry Hughes. Couldn't think of any Wizard who ever played a lick of defense. And watching Hughes with the Cavs and Knicks since, I think he really fooled the league that year. I agree with you nageorge03. Battier is excellent.

	jaymc:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	1 point
	Tried "Van Lear" instead of "Van Lier." Damn you, Loretta Lynn.

	siukong:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 04:07 GMT	-2 points
	201/211 - My kind of quiz. Funny thing though - I mixed up Derrick Mckey with Derrick Coleman, which is how I fluke-got EC Coleman. Not to say that Kobe Bryant is a bad defender, but I think his skills in that area have been somewhat overrated. 7 First Team All-Defense selections just seems like too many for him.

	Dennis Rodman didn't play for Chicago in '94-95. He came to the Bulls for the following season.

	CoolerKing:	Jun 21st, 2010 at 03:11 GMT	1 point
	Seriously though, no John Stockton?!

	upintheclub69:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 17:01 GMT	-2 points
	no steroids thats good!

	siddawg:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 02:31 GMT	1 point

	Zink:	Oct 11th, 2011 at 21:54 GMT	1 point
	Finally Dumars is an answer!
