    Well deserved. This rarely happens in the NBA, but I guess we've been spoiled with those Shaq-Kobe selections.

    Expected since Giannis can't be alone in the 1st team, still salty for the DPOTY travesty

    Hmm, so I guess AD is a top 5 NBA player after all. WTF is with Harden making first team though?

    it's mindbottling. Even Kobe used to praise Harden, which is one of the most out of character things he's done ever.

    I wonder how different these teams look if the playoffs are taken into account.

    The playoffs probably work against Harden and Westbrook, and lift Jokic, Murray, Bam Adebayo and Mitchell higher.

    I am a proud Australian, but I am not sure I agree with Ben Simmons making the list.

    It's interesting how one series can change everything. If we were to beat the Nuggets convincingly, I think some of the recent hype of Jokic and Murray drops a lot.

    But if they push us hard, or even beat us, damn!!! Suddenly they will be considered top 5 and 10 superstars respectively.

    i'm told that's incorrect. WE MORTGAGED OUR FUTURE!!!1111

    led league in scoring again. as long as he does that, he'll make first team.

    was glad to see luka named first team. not sure about siakam on the second team or westbrook on the third team.

    i know we have a recency bias, but is tatum really better than paul george?

    Yes. Not by much, but right now he is. He is also younger and doesn't have injury problems (shoulders) that PG does. You'd most likely take him over PG if you were to draft your own team.

    Re: Harden. He's an elite scorer and has been for years. Have to put him on the first team.

    The second best scorer in the league, Bradley Beal, didn‘t make any Team. I know they didn‘t make the Playoffs but still, only scoring doesn‘t justify beeing there.

    Realistically... Beal could have been selected, but being on a bad team probably did not help him there. If you ask me, he's better than Westbrook.

    If I could add either Westbrook or Beal to this Laker's team I would take Beal without hesitation. He should have been a 3rd team selection.

    beal was quietly excellent this year. increased playmaking duties. led a pretty weak roster to a much better record than they should have had. definitely better than russ this year.

    i actually think he's a better overall player than harden, tbqh.
