<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NEW YORK (AP) Kobe Bryant added another honor Thursday to go with his MVP award, becoming the only unanimous selection to the All-NBA team. The Lakers star was voted to the first team for the third straight season and fifth time in his career. He led Los Angeles to the best record in the Western Conference and was presented with the MVP trophy Wednesday before helping the Lakers to a 120-110 victory over Utah in Game 2 of the conference semifinals. Joining Bryant on the first team were New Orleans guard Chris Paul, who was three votes shy of being a unanimous pick, along with Boston's Kevin Garnett, Cleveland's LeBron James and Orlando center Dwight Howard. Garnett was a first-team pick for the fourth time and James made his second appearance. Paul and Howard were first-timers. Voting was done by a panel of 127 sports writers and broadcasters, with points being awarded on a 5-3-1 basis. Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash of Phoenix were voted to the second team along with San Antonio's Tim Duncan, Utah guard Deron Williams and Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki. The third team consisted of Houston's Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, plus Utah's Carlos Boozer, Boston's Paul Pierce and the Spurs' Manu Ginobili, the league's top sixth man.</div> http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-a...p&type=lgns
The first team was all potential MVP's at one point or another in the season, so that was easy. The only questionable player is Yao: How the hell does someone who doesn't even play half season get on the All-NBA 3rd Team?

Chauncey Billups should've been on one of those teams.
