In an NBA season packed with incredible individual performances, we asked you to decide which 15 players are most deserving of All-NBA recognition.
Last week, we opened voting for the All-NBA First Team. We moved on to the Second Team on Monday, then opened the polls for the Third Team on Wednesday. The results of all those polls are in, so let’s check them out.
- Guard: James Harden (Rockets)
- Guard: Stephen Curry (Warriors)
- Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks)
- Forward: Kevin Durant (Warriors)
- Center: Nikola Jokic (Nuggets)
- Guard: Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers)
- Guard: Russell Westbrook (Thunder)
- Forward: Paul George (Thunder)
- Forward: Kawhi Leonard (Raptors)
- Center: Joel Embiid (Sixers)
- Guard: Kyrie Irving (Celtics)
- Guard: Kemba Walker (Hornets)
- Forward: LeBron James (Lakers)
- Forward: Blake Griffin (Pistons)
- Center: Rudy Gobert (Jazz)
Your top vote-getters in the final round of polling who didn’t quite earn spots on the Third Team: Bradley Beal (Wizards), Anthony Davis (Pelicans), and Karl-Anthony Towns (Timberwolves).
My own All-NBA Teams would look very similar to the ones you picked. I might flip Durant and George or Westbrook and Irving, and I’m still torn over Walker vs. Beal as the second guard on the Third Team. But if the All-NBA teams end up looking like the ones listed above, I wouldn’t be particularly surprised or disappointed.
What do you think? Do you disagree strongly with any of these choices? Do you expect major discrepancies when the official All-NBA teams are announced? Let us know in the comment section!
Only one from the Rockets!
Only one from the Rockets?
Only one from the rockets and he gots the blues.
*four bars, guitar*
No complaints from me
name……PER, BPM, VOR, O-DRtg,on/off
Conley 21.4, 6.4, 3.2, 6, 6.7
Walker 21.7, 3.3, 3.9, -2, 6.5
BrBeal 17.0, 2.8, 3.7, -1, 2.0
Conley has the best overall stats and plays the best defense.
None have made allNBA before but Walker,28, and Beal,25, have a couple allstar nods, while Conley has not and is 31. This should be rectified. He deserves any tiebreak, not that it should come to that.
In recent years, Conley has role-modeled his franchise and Memphis reaches the top of expectations. Meanwhile neither Beal or Wall’s teams have met expectations, and this past year, Beal relied on Wall’s injury for usage and Walker was on a salary drive. They are overrated, bad-team gunners leading underperforming teams.
However like Luke I also had Durant/George and Westbrook/Irving flipped. Also Vucevic is on my 3rd team.
And we left off the NBA’s PER leader, ADavis! Poor defense league-wide this year.
Simmons needs to be there instead of Kemba, AD instead of Blake & KAT instead of Gobert.
1) Westbrook, Harden, Giannis, AD, Embiid
2) Kyrie, Curry, LBJ, KD, KAT
3) Simmons, Lillard, PG13, Kawhi, Jokic
Westbrook and AD couldn’t carry Curry or KD’s jock this year…..
Keep on dreaming!!!
Embiid 2nd team lol
