I have to be a complete homer and vote KG.  He leads the league in boards, is blocking more shots than ever and his combination of size and mobility means he contests EVERYTHING!

To be fair I haven't seen Artest play much this year.   Kirilenko is tremendous in his own right.  Between these two the Defensive MVP could be locked up for years.

On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. The lesson? The good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

That's a bug.  If you just want to see the votes without voting, it makes you as having voted.  Sucks!

I voted for Bowen.  If all-stars are CRYING about you to the media then you're doing something right.

I voted Kirilenko only because of what he did ALL season for a team that was supposed to win 20 games.  He was great all season.  The most dominate player, in the league the last month though has been Theo.  He has been an absolute monster.

Im going with Artest because unlike the players mentioned above (Except KG and lets not be greedy hes gonna get the MVP) Artest can guard guys from 1 to 4, physical or quick, and he has something the others dont......that intimidation factor.  Like it or not that is apart of NBA style defense.  If a guy is not sure if the defender is going to thrash them to the ground they think twice about going to the rack or posting them up.

Ben Wallace. He absolutely redirects how a team plays offense. After Rasheed joined the Pistons, Detriot has become the best defensive team in the League and the Wallaces are responsible.

Honestly I dont see how AK has the lead in the votes right now.....IMO hes a good defender but not quite seeing Artest, Wallace, or Duncan.  Those 3 dominate games defensively...AK is not quite there yet.
