2009 All NBA Team

[DPG21920]

It was a joke more than anything. The only one butthurt here is you, because I don't suck Parker's like you.

A healthy Duncan is still a better all around player than Dirk. But, at this point in his career, you can't ignore that Duncan will have a hard time staying 100% healthy for likely the rest of his career. That's why you almost have to take into consideration that Duncan will rarely be 100% healthy, especially towards the end of the season. That shifts the edge to Dirk, imo. Both are still great, great players. And, an 85% Duncan is still most likely a top 10 player in the league.

Tony Parker was very deserving of being on an all NBA team. But, I don't think it's arguable much at all that he had a better season than Wade, Paul, or Kobe. And, Duncan though not 100% still played 75 regular season games. That helps a lot. So while Tony had to carry a team of mainly scrubs, if you consider injuries, then so did Wade and Paul.

Tough breaks for Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. The guard positions saw a lot of players have great seasons this year.

[BRHornet45]

Paul needs to play the entire season. The all star game seemed to get him going because he was great from there on. Not great enough to deserve first team.

total bull you moron .... Paul was averaging 21 and 11.5 at the all star break and lead the league in steals and assist all year. WTF are you talking about??? LOL what a clueless fool.

[Ghazi]

Paul on 2nd team is the way it shouldbe IMO.

the team performance plays a role too. Its why KG was 1st team last year but wasnt on any team the year prior while in Minny. It's why Wade is on 1st team (15-67 to 43-39), it's why Kobe is on 1st team (65-17), it's why Dirk is 1st team (50-32 and 2nd round w/ Antoine ing Wright in the starting 5).

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

IMO the voters did a great job this year. They kept got Nash and Amare StandandAdmire off the team where they belong.

[kamikazi_player]

Dirk a first team? LMAO!

[Hornets1]

I Didnt know Dwade was a PG. I think the 2nd team could take the 1st team

[dirk4mvp]

The 1st team would take a nasty hot dump on the 2nd team. Let's not be stupid just because your player ended up on the 2nd team.

[Ghazi]

1st team would face the 2nd team.

The guards are superior
The forwards are superior
The center is superior

Where do people come up with this ?!

[kamikazi_player]

First team is great, but I think Dirk is outta place there. maybe he can make himself look important by not going through kobe and lebrons way.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Whoever Paul is guarding would drop 50.

Huh?

[kamikazi_player]

if first team was facing the 2nd team, i really don't see Dirk getting the ball much that's all

[kamikazi_player]

i forgot to put an and*

First team is great, but I think Dirk is outta place there. maybe he can make himself look important and by not going through kobe and lebrons way.

Not the people who claim the mavs won the 06 le arrogant got. BBall is a team game. The 2nd team would mesh much better IMO. Maybe you should look up the 5 game series where the team oriented pistons ass-raped the star-studded lakers. Look up the all-star roster, under-acheiving yankees. Talent means nothing w/out team work in a TEAM sport.

No offense, but 1st team is way too dominant. And we really don't know if 2nd team has team chemistry lol. But guarding Kobe and Lebron at the same time? That's a nightmare.

[Hornets1]

Whoever Paul is guarding would drop 50.

Maybe you should check to see what happened last time paul guarded D-wade(paul stole the ball with 8 seconds left to seal the game). Dwade cried till he got ejected. Another arrogant, uneducated knock on the best point guard on the planet.

JamStone, I like arguing with you at time, but that is only because I think you are one of the smartest posters here. I couldn't have said the above better my self

[monoslyab1k]

Dirk better enjoy his all-NBA 1st team this year because there's likely no more on the horizon. Not that he'll decline drastically, but I just have a weird feeling that the Anthony Randolph show is gonna kick off in a big way next year.

[BRHornet45]

sons Dirk has absolutely no business being on the 1st team ... that is a bigger joke than Paul not being on the 1st team. pathetic.

[Ghazi]

[resistanze]

Dirk is only on the first team due to the position requirement. That said, he's the most deserving power forward. But he should really be on the second team.

I would've chosen CP3 over Kobe, team record means jack . Kobe was on the first team when he averaged 35PPG on that ty 45 win Lakers team.

100% truth

[LakerHater]

Don't you havta at least play D to be on the 1st team!!????

Why would Dirk be All 1st team & Not Tim!!
