How can you have Shaq on the All-NBA team... didnt he sit out almost half the season... again?

[CubanMustGo]

All I can say is after all these years as the NBA's top defensive team it would be damned nice to have SOMEONE from the Spurs named DPOY.

Interesting that Walton has TD #3 in the MVP race yet he wasn't good enough to be first team at F. WTF ??

duncan should be on the all nba first team ahead of lebron

Walton's on crack.....Timmy's 3rd for MVP but can't make first team??

Isn't he always on crack? It seems like he is always on something.

News flash...Walton likes Bigs. I don't know why Walton would consider Marion over Bowen for 3rd place, however. Battier is always in consideration in my book, although I've been in a small minority on that one for the past several years.

Most people I've seen have put Duncan on 1st team as the center. Maybe Walton didn't know he was allowed to do that :)

[smrattler]

Yeah, I saw his picks yesterday and after seeing he had TD off 1st team all-NBA that pretty much drove me crazy enough to dismiss the rest of his expert picks. Idiot.

Also, only one Spur on 3 all-nba teams? No room for a TP or Manu anywhere in there? Hmmm... no wonder we aren't favored this year.

For Walton to pick Tim as DPOY is the kiss of death. Similar to the curse of being on Sports Illustrated's cover--but more sure.

It would be nice..but I don't see it.

[Texas_Ranger]

Amare over Duncan. WTF?

[DarrinS]

He has Shawn Marion 3rd on DPOY. I agree that Marion is a good defender, but third?

[Jimcs50]

What a fool.

TD is 1st team....no way is he 2nd team.

I've been a Battier backer this year for this award, but after the past month, I think it will go to Camby, for sure.

He has Barbosa, Stackhouse, and then ANTONIO MCDYESS as his 6th man. Opinion officially discredited.

[T Park]

Whats wrong with Antonio McDeyss?

[Leetonidas]

Whats wrong with Antonio McDeyss?
The fact it should be Leandro, Manu, and Stackhouse is the problem. Why the hell is McDeyss ahead of Manu? ASININE! :dramaquee

[Samr]

Whats wrong with Antonio McDeyss?

The fact that he averages a game-changing 8.1 points, 6.2 boards, and .9 assists for the season, compared to Manu's 16.5, 4.4, 3.5. The fact that, in the past two months, McD has had two games with 20 points or over, and Manu's had two in the past four games (6 in past two months).

The fact that Manu could be a starter on any team in the league, and the fact that McDyess can influence a playoff series in the same way Shane Heal can influence American basketball.
