Too bad they couldn't pick 5 best guys, not depending on their positions. CP3 and Duncan could be in that list as well.

Not bad picks. Im a bit suprised that Dirk made it, but pleased as well. Still he is he only one of this 5 guys who plays mediocre D, which should also count. Will be a lot of guys who say that he does not deserve it.

I also dont like the fact that no real PG is in there like CP3 (or Chauncey, who would have had my vote).

[t2r2s]

come on man, wade can play all positions from PG to PF in my nba 2k9

[Alejandrov011]

Dirk on the first team?
I disagree...

Billups on the third? FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! he deserves to be on the first ahead of Wade. I'm maybe the only one that says this but i won't change my mind

[dopeboy]

Why you mentioned Wade? He's in that list anyway. PF is exaggerated though...

[Lamrock]

Whoa. Dirk made it? Interesting. Okay picks for the teams. I would have probably swapped Gasol and Pierce, Paul and Kobe, and put Rondo in for Parker, but whatever.

[Oakrhum]

If there should be a real point guard in that All-NBA first team then that should be Tony Parker.

[Modifly]

Billups should be in the second team, not the third.

[Lamrock]

I really like Billups, but Wade, Paul, Kobe and Roy have all had better seasons than him. If the All-NBA teams were like the rookie teams without positions, it would be another story.

[Andrew]

3/5 on the first team, 2/5 on the second team, 3/5 on the third for 8/15 and 30/41 for predictions overall. Just counting players I'd picked to make one of the All-NBA teams though, I did a lot better with 14/15 (and 36/41 if you're counting it that way). KG turned out to be a rather unwise pick, I probably would've still put Billups on the second team too.

Care to explain why?

[jonthefon]

I'd have to say that I'm surprised Dirk made NBA First-Team. His stats were typically awesome (26/8 even though he completely cut down on the threes, only 61 of them) but I thought that sexier picks would get in over him. Turns out there weren't any forwards who really had completely superior stats to his apart from LeBron.

Billups ahead of Parker, that's for sure
