In 2006, the selection of the "Best Lineup" witnessed an interesting phenomenon:
There were 6 players selected to the "All-Defensive First Team."
Jide tied with Kobe, which was a rare occurrence.
Besides, after missing out last season to some controversy, Kobe and LeBron successfully made it into the final "Best Lineup."
Kobe even made a direct comeback to the "First Team."
His performance this year truly deserved a spot on the "First Team."
Moreover, Su Wan moved from last season's "Second Team" to the "First Team."
Carmelo Anthony, as a rookie, made it into the "Best Lineup" roster.
Yao Ming also made it into the "Second Team" for the first time in his career.
The Pacers could be regarded as the biggest winners of this "Best Lineup" selection.
They had two players selected for the "Best Lineup." Additionally, Su Wan was on the "All-Defensive Second Team," while the younger O'Neal and Artest both made it into the "All-Defensive First Team."
