    No surprises for the all rookie team. All deserved their place.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK (Ticker) - After being overshadowed by LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Kirk Hinrich were rewarded Tuesday with places on the NBA All-Rookie Team.

    The 19-year-old James won NBA Rookie of the Year honors last Tuesday with 78 first-place votes and Anthony was the runner-up with the remaining 40 first-place votes. The rest of the rookie class was virtually ignored, but Wade, Bosh and Hinrich received some deserved notoriety on Tuesday when the All-Rookie Team was announced by the league.

    James, Anthony and Wade were unanimous selections with 56 points in a panel of 29 head coaches, who were asked to select five players for the first team and five players for the second team, regardless of position. Coaches were not permitted to vote for players on their own team.

    Making the leap from high school to the NBA, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who more than doubled their win total from 17 to 35.

    Was there any doubt about who would make it? If any of these players did not make it, there would be a conspiracy involved. Congrats to all were chosen
