First Team :
Chris Paul
Kobe Bryant
Kevin Durant
LeBron James
Dwight Howard

-The biggest question marks here are obviously:
whether Kobe play been strong enough to hold off Harden and Wade and how the injury will affect him going forward.
Howard is a question mark but seems to be rounding into shape, so my guess is he continues elevate his play.


Second Team
Wade
Harden
Melo
Duncan
Marc Gasol

Other than Melo's injury and whether or not you put Duncan as a center I think this team is spot on. I would have Westbrook on second team, but right now it's hard to keep both guards here off the second team

Third Team
Westbrook
Steph Curry
Paul George (?)
Blake Griffin
Brook Lopez*

The frontcourt on the third team is a bit of a toss up, with a case to be made for few other centers like Noah,Chandler,Aldrige etc. I took George here to recognize a Pacer, even though West might be their best player. Griffin could very well be the second team, just really depends on how they slot Duncan.

Injuries to Rose, Irving, Rondo, Tony Parker, Kevin Love, Dirk, Bynum have affected this list. Anyways, flame away.

How is Tim Duncan not 1st team? Arguably the best PF ever. Take Dwight out and put Timmy D as the C. Works for me.

Because it is by year and not by how good of a career he's had. With that said he has had a good year, but his minutes have been really limited. I still can't stand Duncan a boring player who always gives the refs that cry baby look, but that's just me. he is great.

Haha gotta love his style of game though. Almost extinct with all the jumper dunkers of the NBA. Nothing better than watching Timmy D hit that 13 footer off the glass.

And with limited minutes, still a top 3 C/PF in the game stat wise. Averaging like 17 and 10 with restricted minutes.

Oh no doubt he's great and I respect his game. It just doesn't make for the most fun type of play to watch. Also I never liked him after he drained that fade away in Shaq's eye in the playoffs, but D.Fish answers with .4 seconds left

Tim Duncan's stats per 36 is great especially at his age; I honesty won't mind Timmy getting the first team C position.

Haha still dont know how he got that shot off in time. Youd think catch,turn,and shoot would take longer than .4.

1st-
PG- Chris Paul
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Kevin Durant
PF- Lebron James
C- Marc Gasol

2nd-
PG-Russell Westbrook
SG-James Harden
SF-Carmelo Anthony
PF-Lamarcus Aldridge
C- Joakim Noah

3rd-
PG-Steph Curry
SG-Dwayne Wade
SF-Paul George
PF-David Lee
C- Tyson Chandler


ETA--Before everyone starts bitching about Lebron at the 4, he plays 25% of his minutes at that position. And any 1st team All-NBA w/o Durant isn't legit.

I wouldn't have a problem with Noah, Gasol, or Duncan being the 1st team C. All deserve it.

bullshite. The All-NBA selections are arguably the most accurate awards in sports. If you could name an example of egregious error please do so.
