Duncan joined Larry Bird, George Mikan, Bob Pettit and Oscar Robertson in the exclusive club after averaging 20.3 points and 11.1 rebounds this season. He received 553 total points in balloting by a 124-person media panel, trailing only Miami's Shaquille O'Neal (616) and Phoenix's Steve Nash (606), who was named the league's MVP. Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki and Philadelphia's Allen Iverson were the other members of the first team. Seattle's Ray Allen was selected to the second team with 177 points. Manu Ginobili, who didn't make any of the three All-NBA teams, received 12 points. Tony Parker finished with seven. </div> Source
