So here they are :

1st team :

C - D Howard
F - K Durant
F - L James
G - K Bryant
G - D Wade

2nd team

C - A Stoudemire
F - D Nowitzki
F - C Anthony
G - D Williams
G - S Nash

3rd team

C - A Bogut
F - P Gasol
F - T Duncan
G - J Johnson
G - B Roy

Nice to see Durant in All-NBA first. And finally Bogut got some recognition.

Like seeing Dirk on the same team as Nash again.

Kobe being first team over Nash is terrible.

Bogut makes the third team over Bosh. I blame X for making me second guess that one. Great to see an Aussie finally make an All-NBA team, hopefully next year he'll have a shot at the All-Star game.

Going back to the predictions thread, I had 12/15 with the first team being the closest (4/5; I had Nash, Kobe, James, Durant and Howard as the first team).

Where is Rondo?

The "Andrew reverse jinx" worked a charm & got him over the line

I actually thought Bosh would be on 3rd team as a forward & Duncan would get nod at centre for 3rd team over Bogut. Strange that Duncan is a centre for defensive purposes (All-Def 2nd) but forward for offensive purposes (All NBA 3rd).

[Andrew]

It depends if All-Defensive teams are truly picked without regard to positions though, as there have been a few that feature three players commonly listed as forwards, along with a centre and a guard. Otherwise, I suppose a few liberties are taken in order to squeeze players in here and there when desired.

[Kenny]

Great to see him get All-NBA honours, though I'm surprised he wasn't on any of the teams for All-Defensive. Hopefully Australian basketball can benefit from it.

Kobe being first team over Nash is terrible.

Nash has had a phenomenal season and I also feel his season was better than Kobe's because nobody was even expecting the Suns to be as nearly as good as they were but you still have to look at the fact the Lakers were still on top in the west and Kobe is a huge reason for that.
