    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?

    As I recall it does affect his ability to get a supermax extension.

    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.

    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.

    I would question the choice of Duncan to 3rd team and Pau Gasol to 2nd team

    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.

    At least LMA crushed Blake Griffin in the voting

    Pau put up 19/12 and a 23 PER . Some say his best season ever.

    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.

    I think the third team would beat the second

    Marc Gasol on first team... guess he's not overrated after all. ;)

    Probably because Chuckbrook would just play 1 on 5 ball and isolate the others.

    Exactly! Team 2 outside of CP3 are all scorers. Team 3 is full of ball movers.
