    This season it wasn't a given. Our team didn't get wins, the field of guards was nuts and Dame just played enough games for his numbers to count as far as the league leaders are concerned. So I was really happy just to see him in the group, I'm not too hung up on where he landed.

    Seems right. Nothing to argue about.

    Just one of my points. All of those guys' teams ended up with a lot more success than ours did. I think it's great that Dame made it. Now a seven time all nba superstar! Only all nba guys this season with more are LeBron and Steph.

    You think Ja was hurt by the gun incident? He was great, had the dunk of the year, and his team had the 2nd best record in a crowded West. He probably should’ve made it over Dame. And we’re not even talking about Booker.

    Dame is Dame and having that kind of character and Q Score counts when things are close. I think Dame accounting for more points than anyone in the league besides Luka made it kind of hard to leave him off of the team... that being said 35 of the 100 voters didn't have Dame on their ballot.

    Except Mitchell led his team to 50 wins. Dame led his team to 5th best lotto odds.

    Except in the most important ability... availability. He missed 29% of the season.

    We all love Dame here. Does rational have to go out the window in discussing him? Does it always have to be a pissing contest on who loves him most? The only players who made these teams with less games played are James and Curry, certified basketball royalty who get every break when it comes to subjective honors like this. Many others had legit cases to have made the 3rd team over Lillard, yet here you are not missing the chance to bitch

    Coming as a surprise to no one, you're wrong about something.

    Nate Duncan and Danny LeRoux both had Dame as first team deserving

    And Cole Anthony, and TJ McConnell

    I mean, you can throw out any names you want, I guess. Edwards is not even close to Dame’s level lol.

    Crazy that Dame didn’t get any first team votes.

    Do you think the gun incident had anything to do with him not being named one of the top 6 guards in the NBA?
