Duncan makes all NBA 1st team

[Arcadian]

Damn right.

[milkyway21]

Duncan carried this team near the end of the regular season when TP was recuperating.
Those 3 30-pt game in March & April helped.

Gasol is not far behind.

Fuk that get CP3, overrated piece of . Fuk that bas kobe. How does TP not make first team? That's bull .

[milkyway21]

I really think Parker is better than Chris Paul.

[Darkwaters]

If true, well deserved after the snub for DPotY and non-1st team defense.

So I just noticed something. How did Marc Gasol win Defensive Player of the Year....and not make the NBA All-Defensive 1st team?

That just tells you how much bull is typically attributed to these things. Glad to see Duncan got it though, as hes obviously deserving this year.

[Cry Havoc]

Is Duncan the oldest player to ever make the first team?

No but he made the All NBA 1st team in the 90s, the 2000s, and now in the 2010s. First player to ever do so in 3 different decades.

[TDomination]

This year is feeling like a le year more and more.

-Last time Timmy was 1st team All-NBA (06-07) Championship Year.
-Its an odd year (99,03,05,07)
-We beat Lakers in Playoffs (every time we have, Spurs have gone on to win Championship)
-Things going our way (injuries to other teams superstars)
-Defense playing really well
-Overcoming Adversity: THIS YEAR (GS Series)
PREVIOUS CHAMPIONSHIP YEARS (Memorial Day Miracle, Coming back 13 down Against Mavs game 6 in 03, Robert Horry Shot Game 5 in 05 vs Pistons)

Etc....

So anyways, congratulations Duncan! Well Deserved!

[Rummpd]

BEST BIG IN GAME STILL HATERS! Case could be made Parker was better than Paul as well....

[lefty]

Oh and screw you ace3g, you cant always be the 1st one to post news

[Trill Clinton]

timmy the GOAT

[JR3]

What a beast Duncan has been! Wow!

[HI-FI]

major props to Timmy. what an icon. and props to Tony, as always, underrated.

[Rummpd]

Spurs have two top ten players in game by any standard and F the haters who do not still give them a chance to win 6 more if both plus Manu stay relatively healthy

[polandprzem]

Funny how they made TP a 4th guard this year ...

-We beat Lakers in Playoffs (every time we have, Spurs have gone on to win Championship)

Young people are funny.

You do know the Spurs organization existed PRIOR to 1999, right?

[spurraider21]

if Tony didn't go down with injury he would have cracked first team over Paul. he was in serious MVP talks and people were calling him the best pg in the league at the time. oh well. congrats on cracking the 2nd team. no slouch.

Although Tim ABSOLUTELY deserved the first team, I'm still in shock he actually made it. ing beast

[romain.star]

I think he meant that for every championship won by the Spurs, they have defeated the Lakers at some point in the PO

[tesseractive]

I don't know why, but I'd forgotten that they beat the Lakers back in '95. I guess it's because I forgot they were still a playoff team in the post-Showtime, pre-Shaq/Kobe years.

Or maybe it's because I've blocked as much as possible out of my mind from that season after undergoing severe emotional trauma during the next playoff series.

[ploto]

Congrats to Timmy -- much deserved.

TP on the 2nd team is right. For those griping about CP3, Tony was 4th in voting at guard. He was actually closer to 5th than 3rd.

Only gripe I have is Dwight Howard, but it was not even close for the 3rd center spot.

[pookenstein]

Congrats to both Timmy and Tony. Well deserved. I think if Parker hadn't got hurt he'd had a good chance to be in the first team as well.

[tesseractive]

Congrats to both Timmy and Tony. Well deserved. I think if Parker hadn't got hurt he'd had a good chance to be in the first team as well.

An awful lot of people would have voted for Kobe and Chris Paul reflexively regardless. Still, if he'd finished #3 in the MVP race, there's a chance he could have passed one of them.

Parker only played 66 games, I'm very surprised they had him on the 2nd team ahead of Harden, tbh..

I'd have Harden on the 1st team, tbh..
