All NBA defensive team announced/Dwyane Wade issue

The defensive first team in the NBA was announced on Wednesday. Dwight Howard was the leading vote getter for the ballot and he was earlier announced defensive player of the year and now his defense is also awarded and all NBA first Defensive team. An all nba defensive team is when they people vote on who they think was the best 5 defensive players of the league. Who was also awarded on the team with Dwight Howard is Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Chris Paul. Dwight Howard led the league with 14 rebounds a game and 3 blocks a game. Chris Paul led the league in steals with 2.8 a game. LeBron, Kobe, and Kevin are already well known defensive player and give it all they got everynight. Each player always makes it difficult for the opponent to score. The all NBA second defensive team was also announced which included Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan, Rajon Rondo, and the duo out of Houston which is Ron Artest and Shane Battier. I was a little shocked when I saw it because I think the Dwyane Wade should have made the all NBA defensive team. Because on defense I think this season he was a lot better the James and Bryant on defense. Also he in my opinion did deserve the MVP award because of the numbers he put up. Its not that he didn't get is what shocks. Is that he came in third place in the MVP ballot. Are you kidding me? Third Place. I mean second I would understand but third is unacceptable. He put up better numbers than Lebron and Kobe and also had a better defensive year in a landslide. This where popularity comes into place. Do you thinks its just that we don't care about the stats. Its just we vote on who we know the most when more than half of us don't even know what numbers they are putting up?
