Semi-related: when does the All-Beard team come out? Got to be soon.
There's three locks for that, and then discussion about the remaining two.
I've got Harden (Most Valuable Beard), Lebron, Baron Davis. Who else makes it?

Chandler is obviously a good defender, but on one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Doesn't happen too often.

So why were the Knicks top 5 defensively over the season?
They took 11 points off opponents scores since his inclusion. Thats as good as it gets.

Serge Ibaka was my choice. Dude is a beast defensively

The final reason i reckon Chandler got the edge over Ibaka, Chandler actually shuts down opposing big man, being the only one capable of slowing Bynum and Howard for starters.
Ibaka blocks a tonne of shots, but his man still gets his points, K.Love dropped 51 on him, Dirk has had some big games on him, Gasol had a huge one on him as well.
And Chandler somehow made the Knicks a top 5 defensive team over a shortened training camp, that's an award by itself.
