Kevin Durant 31 Total defensive team votes (7 First team Votes)
Klay Thompson 24 Total defensive team votes (8 First Team Votes)
Lebron James: 1 Total Defensive Team Votes (0 First Team Votes)
Pretty clear that the media and league view KD and Klay as better defensively currently compared to Lebron in the most current season (2018).
The fact that Paul George got left off of the first and second team defense shows that there are snubs on those first two teams. Many feel KD was also snubbed.
