Carlos Boozer’s Defense by the Numbers
May 23rd, 2012 at 11:13 PM
When I first saw that the Chicago Bulls' resident matador Carlos Boozer received a vote for the 2011-12 NBA All-Defensive Team, I thought somebody on Twitter was making a joke. No way, I thought. That HAD to be Taj Gibson getting that vote.
