Parker obviously doesn't deserve it, but good job.![]()
I guess Parker's a good an envoy as any. No Spur really warranted it this season.
token Spur, tbh... but this is what I mean when I say this is his team now...
Parker finally reaping the rewards of his improved reputation around the league (a couple of years finishing in the top 5 MVP voting certainly helps with that). Just like Howard has no business being on the 2nd team, CP3 or Kobe being on the All-Defensive team, etc. Given how many timesTony was snubbed, I say he certainly deserves it.
Yup. Would have loved the Spurs to possibly ring without an All NBA teamer but, still, good for TP's Resume tbh.
A lot of people say he is best PG in league. Well deserved. Good job, now go out and prove you are the best PG, and get that 2nd Finals MVP.
where is Timmy? the All NBA 4th team?
Hall of Fame ballot tbh...
In the F'ing Finals dude. A place where every first team all NBA player wants to be and would trade places with him, except Lebron.
Well said. He deserved it other seasons when he didn't make it, so it all evens out in the wash.
On a different note, I wouldn't be surprised if this is Harden's last year on First Team for a while. His rep really took a hard hit about his defense this year during the playoffs. And we all know these lists are about rep as much as performance. Look for CP3, Westbrook, Lillard, and Curry to fill up the guards spots the next few years with Harden being a 3rd teamer, occasional 2nd teamer, and perhaps "no" teamer a few times.
Curry should have made the first team over either Harden or CP3.
5 point guards and only one SG, kinda telling...
Noah has been extremely overated this season, DPOY, first team and 4th in the MVP voting... No offensive move at all, got schooled by Nene like he was a total scrub...
He missed a lot of time.
His defense isn't even that great. Very unimpressive in the impact stats. Not surprised that Gortat on him in the playoffs too.
Sort of. He was the 3rd alternate with 63 points and 1 first place vote.
Kawhi also got 1 vote.
Tony Parker will add another Finals MVP on his resume' as well
Love Noah but god damn, seeing those 3 center picks makes me miss the 90s.
I'm pretty confident Rik Smits would make a a bunch of all NBA teams if he played today.
Parker didn't deserve any all-NBA team, let alone 2nd, but a lot of this is based on reputation, so it makes sense that he received the honor after his superstar-caliber season in 2012-2013..
The compe ion at guard is pretty weak, to be fair, as Lillard and John Wall are both really overrated, tbh..good to see that Dragic made it, he absolutely deserved it..
Curry being snubbed from the 1st team is ridiculous, especially since Chris Paul missed time and his team didn't suffer without him, but that's typical Chris Paul media/coaches love..
A role player(Noah) making all-NBA 1st team is pathetic, tbh..he can't create his own shot in any form, his defensive metrics show that his value is overrated(especially in Thibs' system, where any player can look good on defense), and his "elite passing", while great, was a product of a desperate offensively-depleted team(worst offensive weapons in the NBA) utilizing a high-post game that isn't game-planned for during the regular season..
Once the playoffs arrived, the Bulls' high post-game was no longer effective, as the opposing team actually game-planned for it, and Noah doesn't have a counter-move to attack the defense..
Which center deserved to be on the first team, then?
A lot of great players got snubbed this season, tbh..
Dirk, Davis, Cousins, Carmelo, Duncan, etc..
Howard, easily..
Howard easily had a superior season to Noah and is a much better player overall but voters aren't putting two Rockets on the 1st team...
The release of this was so delayed this season, I wonder if Howard was originally on the 1st team and the league covered it up after they got bounced in the 1st round tbh![]()
