    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jason Kidd and Vince Carter both received All-NBA consideration, but did not garner enough votes to earn Third Team honors. Carter finished eighth among guards (47 points) and Kidd finished ninth (20 points). Nenad Krstic also received five points in a system where five points are awarded for First Team votes, three for Second Team and one for Third Team. This is the second straight year in which Kidd has not made any team, after a six-year run on either the First (five times) or Second (once) team.</div>

    I know that's sad.
    I think he's the best PG right now next to Nash. Kidd finishing 9th is absurd.

    Putting Melo and Arenas or them is total BS IMO. Arenas is a greta scorer but c'mon he is not all NBA when it comes to playing a complete game. Melo is there because of...well I don't even know.

    Arenas and Kidd are debatable, but Melo was just downright horrible. However, KG or Pierce deserved it over Melo more than Carter..Well Carter is a SG anyway.

    Arenas deserves it, but not Melo. It wasn't a clutch team or smth.

    absurd is right... Kidd should be on the list. There hasn't been a pure PG like Kidd since Stockton. No disrespect to Nash, but he is more of a 2 guard than a 1, while Kidd opts to pass, pass, pass then shoot.

    Nash, the NBA leader in apg this season, is a 2 guard? Who do you think you're kidding? He's a pure PG + a nice shot, with bad defense. It's debetable, but I think that Carter didn't deserve a spot, but Kidd should've replaced Arenas. How can the league leader in triple doubles, the leader in rpg for all guards, one of the best defensive point guards and the best, or one of the best, passers in the league finish only 9th among guards? I say he should've replaced Arenas, even though Arenas was great this season. And he should've gotten more points than Tony Parker and VC for sure.
