Somehow James Harden was able to get two votes for the NBA’s All-Defensive team. I am still trying to understand how this happened.
So when news broke that one voter was retracting his vote and he simply made it in error one would think this had to be one of the votes for Harden right?
Wrong!
Exchanged a couple of e-mails with Suns broadcaster Al McCoy. He said he DID NOT mean to vote David Lee for NBA All-Defensive Second Team.

Phoenix Suns broadcaster Al McCoy somehow voted for David Lee. Lee is a great player for the Warriors but on defense he is pretty much non-existing, and that’s putting it lightly.
He said that he either hit the wrong button while voting or there was a computer glitch.

With Harden receiving two votes and Lee receiving one accidental vote, the NBA should probably update their voting system. It appears the NBA uses an online, drop down voting system. However the issue with this error is some players use this as leverage to receive bonuses and other incentives, so it’s important that the NBA fixes this “glitch” immediately.
