After so many decades being associated with indifferent defense, the Warriors have become one of the stingiest squads in the NBA.

Andre Iguodala is a big reason for that.

The 6-foot-6 small forward, acquired last July, on Monday received recognition for his work when he was named to the 2013-14 NBA All-Defensive First Team.

Iguodala is the first Warrior named to the first team since center Nate Thurmond in 1970-71. Guard Latrell Sprewell was voted to the second team in 1993-94.

When Iguodala joined the Warriors last July, club officials sang the praises of his selflessness and his effectiveness in transition. Above all, though, they expected him to lift their defense to another level.

He did that. The Warriors finished third in defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) and fourth in field-goal percentage defense. Iguodala led the league in plus-minus equation, averaging a plus-9.0 differential.

Iguodala was joined on the first team by Bulls center Joakim Noah (the leafing vote getter), Thunder forward Serge Ibaka, Pacers forward Paul George and Clippers guard Chris Paul.

Other Warriors receiving votes: Klay Thompson (5), Andrew Bogut (4), Stephen Curry (3, including one first-team vote), Draymond Green (1) and David Lee (1).
