LA makes 2nd team for the first time in his career. Dame drops off the list from his 3rd team appearance last year -- I wonder if this affects his DRose max contract extension? http://www.nba.com/2015/news/05/21/2014-15-all-nba-first-team-official-release/index.html 2014-15 ALL-NBA FIRST TEAM Position Player / Team / 1st Team Votes Points Forward LeBron James, Cleveland (129) 645 Forward/Center Anthony Davis, New Orleans (119) 625 Center Marc Gasol, Memphis (65) 453 Guard Stephen Curry, Golden State (129) 645 Guard James Harden, Houston (125) 637 2014-15 ALL-NBA SECOND TEAM Position Player / Team / 1st Team Votes Points Forward/Center LaMarcus Aldridge, Portland (13) 390 Center/Forward DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento (18) 220 Center Pau Gasol, Chicago (15) 242 Guard Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City (10) 397 Guard Chris Paul, L.A.

They should add a Fourth Team, then the next season's All Star game could be First versus Second, with 1st getting 4th team as a bench and 2nd getting 3rd as a bench.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....ick-rose-rule-will-make-a-few-rookies-richer/ So Dame still has a shot to hit that mark if he gets on an All NBA team next season
Duncan beat Kawhi Leonard by 2 points for the last forward slot. Talk about an ouch coming from his teammate.
And much like the All-Defense teams, the West absolutely dominates the All-NBA spots with 4 of 5, 4 of 5, and 4 of 5 on each respective team!
Not really surprised. Dame had a horrible second half of the season. Whether it was an injury, fatigue, or just bad basketball, he didn't deserve to make the team.
Agreed. I wouldn't say I'd pick the 2nd Team over the 1st Team, but I've never seen them so close in talent level before.
