You at least should recognize that the last ten missed games were intentional as part of the Blazers’ tanking efforts. That said, I have no issues with the 3rd team spot. One minor quibble would be Luka not getting similar treatment to Dame for his team’s crappy performance.
Don't know, don't care. Dame had arguably his best individual season in a hall of fame career and deserved to get on, lottery team around him or not.
I have nothing to do with who makes these teams or what rational is used, but quite clearly games played is an important factor for the media types who do. Thats not just this year or applied only to outstanding Trailblazers, thats every year & every player. Luka's ball dominance over dribbling makes the Mavs a real tough watch for me. I prefer ball movement and team play but again All NBA honors are not about my preferences. Luka played in 8 more games then Dame did... thats 10% of the season. If he played only 58 games but put up the same per game stats on the same sucky team, I strongly suspect he is off team 1. Hell, statistically per game Anthony Davis was a top 5 player this past season. He played 2 less games then Dame though and was left off all 3 teams. STOMP
Ja had a good year, for sure, but his team played pretty well without him. And he's a douche. Dame was better. And Sharpe had the dunk of the year IMO.
The one against Wizards, where he drove from the baseline, and with his arm cocked back, parallel to the floor, in traffic , through it down in a rainbow arc with authority.
