Crazy that Pau got 2nd team over him IMO
Congratulations to Tim Duncan on being selected All NBA Third Team - his 15th!!!
He received 6 First Team votes!
Crazy that Pau got 2nd team over him IMO
Pau had better counting stats but much less impact to winning than Timmy.
1st Team: Curry, Harden, LeBron, Davis, Marc
2nd Team: Paul, Westbrook, Aldridge, Pau, Cousins
3rd Team: Irving, Thompson, Griffin, Duncan, DeAndre
Pau being 2nd team is an absolute joke. Kawhi should've had that spot. If they're going to snub Kawhi, then at least put Griffin or Duncan 2nd team and move Pau to 3rd team.
Pau was basically Al Jefferson this year. Borderline 20/10 guy who played ty defense. I was expecting him to get selected, but 2nd team is ridiculous. How he made it in over Kawhi is beyond me (not really, I know exactly why - media is infatuated with box score stats).
Pau Gasol, Klay Thompson, and DeAndre Jordan all make the All-NBA team while Kawhi does not.
What a joke.
At least Duncan got to add another all-defense and all-NBA selection to his list of accomplishments.
GOAT
Not even one token Hawk. No wonder Bud got the coaching award.
15 times each - All-NBA, All-Defensive, All Star selection... an amazing accomplishment!
Just more fuel for Kawhi to work on his offensive game. He was the last one off the list:
Other players receiving votes, with point totals (First Team votes in parentheses): Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio, 155; Paul Millsap, Atlanta, 70; Al Horford, Atlanta, 64 (1); John Wall, Washington, 50; Jimmy Butler, Chicago, 32;Damian Lillard, Portland, 22; Draymond Green, Golden State, 9; Zach Randolph, Memphis, 7; Jeff Teague, Atlanta, 7; Andrew Bogut, Golden State, 6;Nikola Vucevic, Orlando, 6; DeMar DeRozan, Toronto, 3; Rudy Gay, Sacramento, 3; Andre Drummond, Detroit, 2; Gordon Hayward, Utah, 2; Kyle Korver, Atlanta, 2; Joakim Noah, Chicago, 2; Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas, 2; Dwyane Wade, Miami, 2; Carmelo Anthony, New York, 1; Tyson Chandler, Dallas, 1;Mike Conley, Memphis, 1; Brook Lopez, Brooklyn, 1; Kevin Love, Cleveland, 1;Kyle Lowry, Toronto, 1; Khris Middleton, Milwaukee, 1.

In fact Kawhi got more votes (155) than Thompson or Irving (122 and 112 respectively) but the forward slots were already filled.
The legend grows
Pau Gasol and Jordan making all-NBA is pathetic, tbh
Clippers have 2 all-NBA 1st team defenders, yet they were the 16th ranked defense in the NBA..they have 3 all-NBA players, yet they couldn't even get past the 2nd round against a weak Rockets team..throw in the most overrated coach in the NBA, and you have maybe the most overhyped team I have ever seen..
Tim just edged out Kawhi.
Every single day......
He's a classic and arguably the best big in basketball. That said, the bigs in basketball today are mostly a joke. Ol' David Robinson would be licking his chops if he was coming into the league now in his 20s. He'd feast on all these slow and unskilled bigs.
UTTER BULL
Tim should have been on the 1st Team he carried the Spurs all en year
His 15 All-NBA selections now has him tied with Kareem and Kobe for most selections in NBA History.
His 15 All-Defensive selections are an NBA record held by Duncan and Duncan alone.
his 15 All-NBA and All-Defense selections have all come in the same year too
Congrats Timmy!!!!!!
Pau Gasol? Hahahaha
Why do they not have 4th and 5th teams? Would Parker make 10th team all nba?
That's basically not possible.
1st team all eating
