It's no doubt that Dwight and Kobe24 as well as LBJ must be on there,
And both of D-wade and CP3 are so close to the other guard slot.i can say each of them has 50/50 chance to make it
The only slot which can be debated is the other forward slot.Tim Duncan still has a big opportunity to be picked into it although he couldn't help the spurs to get into the second round, and Joe Johnson is obviously the biggest opponent to Timmy.
Dudes.don't tell me you don't care this and just care about the championship as well as don't have interest in taking about this,man, cause the season was already over so that it's very reasonable for us to discuss and think the last honor that Timmy can probably be got this year.

I think Joe Johnson is cool and all but I think he's more of a 3rd team player.
Tim Duncan didn't end the season well due to injury and that might hurt his All NBA status this year. This also rules out KG.
I think Dirk has a shot at it this year since he went on that late season tear.
But the mavs didn't have a good ranking in the regular season, it should influence Dirk to make it
In the MVP award, they care about 50 wins. But in the other awards, it's not important like that.
I too would like Duncan to get the honor again, but I think it's unlikely this year due to injury.
Yeah, LBJ is strong enough to play PF. the forward combo of LBJ and Durant is definitely the best one you can make up in this league.
Probably:
Dwyane Wade
Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Dirk Nowitzki
Dwight Howard
Although, I could see them going away from the standard two guards, two forwards and adding a third guard, Chris Paul, in favor of Dirk. I don't think Tim Duncan will make the cut this year. The other forward I think has a chance at first team is actually Pau Gasol.
Don't you think Kevin Durant also has a chance to make it?

I think Duncan will get the starting Forward spot alongside LeBron since technically, Coaches are suppose to vote by position. Otherwise I feel the best 5 players have been Howard, LeBron, Kobe, Wade and CP3.
My guess.
Howard
Duncan
LeBron
Kobe
Wade
Yao
Pau
Dirk
Roy
Parker
Shaq
Carmelo
Pierce
Billups
Williams
Thats what i think they will be.
Chance? Maybe. But more than likely he won't be first team. Maybe a second teamer if he's lucky. Team record might not factor in the same way it is for MVP, but still. 23 wins for his team. When's the last time a player on a team that bad got first team honors? I don't know. Even LeBron didn't get first team all NBA in his second year and his team went 42-40 and he put up 27/7/7.
Duncan will get the spot bc he is Tim Duncan
I agree with this.
no.
+1 on the
Wade
Kobe
LeBron
Howard
and I guess Dirk (but by default, it's been a bad year for the PF spot)
But if Wade goes second team and if they don't hold Derrick Rose or Carlos Boozer against him, Deron's probably making second and I wouldn't be suprised to see Chauncey or Roy on the third over Parker.
At first I thought "Dirk in a walk over TD" but even with Tim's injuries the stats are pretty close:
Dirk 25.8ppg/8.4 rpg/0.8 bpg/2.4 apg/1.9 to
Duncan 19.3ppg/10.7rpg/1.7bpg/3.5 apg/2.2 to
Do Dirk's six PPG outweigh Tim's other advantages? Probably so since most ppl tend to focus on offense more than anything else.

Statistically Kevin Durant is more worthy of a place in the first team than Dirk and TD.
I think TD's problem is a "what have you done for me lately" type of a thing. I don't know what his numbers were coming down the stretch of the regular season, but I know they dropped off. Probably pretty significantly.
Whereas Deron or someone may have gotten off to a bad start, Tim's numbers are deflated by a statistical collapse at the end of the season (not that it's his fault). But that 's going to stick in voter's minds more than if he'd been hurt to start the year.
And dude... get out of here with the whole Durant's a 1st teamer thing. Nobody's going for it. Scoring a bunch of points for one of the worst teams in the league while shooting 47% (as a forward) is nothing. Well, it's not nothing, but it's damn sure not a 1st team caliber performance.
kobe
wade
james
dirk
howard
parker
billups
pierce
duncan
yao
cp3
roy
durant
gasol
shaq
Dirk also led his team on a massive surge into the 6th seed in a VERY tight west race, past Tim Duncan in the first round, all without his #2 guy healthy or present for the majority of the year, and without any other all-stars on his team.
I think there's a very good chance that Chauncey Billups makes it to one of all NBA teams, maybe even to the second team. I think it's unlikely he gets left off completely, even if it's at the expense of one of the young great guards, Deron or Roy.
kobe
wade
lebron
dirk (ahead of Duncan simply cause he carried what is IMO a very mediocre supporting cast the entire year)
D-Ho
CP3
Brandon Roy
Paul Pierce
Tim Duncan
Yao Ming
Parker
Deron Williams
Kevin Durant
Pau Gasol
Shaq
yup i have im on my second team
Duncan could beat Dirk in the first team, you never know.
Between Yao and Howard, depends who goes further into the playoffs.
sons when will they announce the teams?
actually breaking news, peja is in.
son Peja is too busy building his new home in New Orleans with all of those bricks he laid this year.
