Ranking Every NBA All-Defensive First Team in History from Worst to First
The old adage that defense wins championships usually holds true in the NBA. After all, Michael Jordan, the greatest player of all time, managed to sneak in a quote about defense after each and every championship he won. It is no coincidence that the greatest defender of all time, Bill Russell, also has the most rings with one more than he has fingers.
Every year since the 1968-1969 NBA season, the head coaches have voted to determine which defenders reigned supreme. Positions are not taken into account and both a five-man First Team and a five-man Second Team are created.
Let's take a look through the All-Defensive First Teams throughout NBA history and see which one was the best.
