<div class="quote_poster">Premium Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Link SICK!</div> Wow KG got dissed again (he should have been on the second team this year and last year). Last year he didn't even make the Third team and he easily deserved to be on it... It also bothers me that Amare made the first team. LeBron and Amare both got 494 points (and LeBron got 64 First-Place votes compared to Amare's 36)... I would have preferred to place Duncan at the "Center" position and LeBron at the three.
Good for CB4. He deserved it. Soon him and LB23 will be on the first team. I'm not surprised Amare made it. He's worked really hard since his injury last season, and keeps on getting better. He's an amazing PF and has a good mid range jumper.

Also, to say that Amare has a "good" mid-range jumper (I'd say "respectable") is a little bit of a stretch. Bah, semantics.

Similar to the MVP, you need to lead your team to a winning record, and not just put up good stats.
do you vote 2 guards, 2 forwards and a centre OR 1 of each position? cause if so, i personally don't think Amare deserved a first team selection.
