    I actually agree. Pau was a beast this season! He deserves the spot IMO

    Yes, that means he IS overrated. When you get accolades you don't deserve, that is the definition of overrated.

    Gasol is the best center in the league. So......

    Apparently in the majority of the media, he is a #1 all team. In YOUR opinion, which DOESN'T count towards this... he is overrated. But, it doesn't matter in this instance. So, your opinion isn't fact in this case, whereas the opinion of the media chosen to choose the teams, is. So....

    Considering that "overrated" is by its very nature a subjective term, the opinion of the person using said term completely matters. KS believes that the media think more highly of Gasol than they ought. Him being on the first team doesn't subvert that argument, it supports it.

    One is fact based on opinion, one is an opinion of an opinion that was rendered fact. I suppose it doesn't discredit it, but it's also futile to argue it.

    The Gasol brothers doing well. I can't quite see DeAndre Jordan belonging on any of those list. I think Andrew Bogut is the center on one of the teams.

    Rivers paid off the vote-counters. One-dimensional players don't belong on the 3rd team.

    People on the general board on realgm are trying to say Aldridge doesnt deserve 2nd team. That he puts up garbage stats and was nothing until lillard came along. Then they go on to say that lillard was by far our best player last year.

    Pretty comical stuff

    That's funny because I think you could argue Aldridge was the better PF than Davis this year and deserved to be on the first.

    Rip City Mornings is making that same argument. Better team, better H2H, etc...

    That kinda stuff shouldn't be a factor. Davis IS a better player than LA and the gap is only gonna get bigger.
