If Harden can remain healthy, can this guy make the All NBA 1st Team? Harden's Stats PPG: 26.1 APG: 5.7 RPG: 4.7 PER: 23.48 TS%: .602 FG%: .452 WS (Wins Shared): 8.5 Competition: (Chris Paul is a lock, so I won't bother with him) Kobe Bryant: PPG: 27.4 APG: 5.4 RPG: 5.3 PER: 23.04 TS%: .568 FG%: .465 WS: 7.3 Russel Westbrook: PPG: 22.5 APG: 8.1 RPG: 5.2 PER: 23.25 TS%: .520 FG%: .425 WS: 7.0 Tony Parker: PPG: 20.7 APG: 7.7 RPG: 3.0 PER: 24.42 TS%: .595 FG%: .535 WS: 8.0 Harden has the highest TS%, Highest WS, 2nd most points scored, 2nd highest PER. I think it will eventually be Harden vs Kobe, with the Kobe lovers getting him on 1st team.
Random, but are they also removing the center position from the All-NBA teams? Its crazy how weak the center position is nowadays. 1st Team Chris Paul Kobe Bryant LeBron James Kevin Durant Carmelo Anthony 2nd Team Russell Westbrook James Harden Blake Griffin Tim Duncan Brook Lopez 3rd Team Tony Parker Dwyane Wade David Lee LaMarcus Aldridge Tyson Chandler
If we make the playoffs, he will def be in the running. If we make it as a 6th seed? Then definitely especially if the Lakers are out.
This might be the year Kobe Bryant gets knocked out of the first team. I dont think Harden makes first team. Tim Duncan takes first team center spot and shuffles everyone downwards.
Parker is a lot more deserving in my opinion than James. I think Kobe will still get it over james & also CP3 as well will get it over James. Parker is balling right now at a totally different level. In fact I think Parker is more deserving than CP3 & Kobe. James will likely get third team, don't see him getting second team at all.
Doubt Parker gets first team even though he probably deserves it. Depends on how the Lakers do second half.
if the lakers make the playoffs kobe is a lock its like coaches vote for him regardless of actual play of other people -- especially when it comes to all-nba defense (kobe hasnt consistently played good defense in over 5 years) otherwise Harden makes a very strong case for the SG spot
1st team guards. Parker/Paul 2nd team guards. Westbrook/Wade 3rd team guards Harden/Kobe This is how it should be. I think It'll be shuffled around though so that Kobe is first team which will knock Parker down to 2nd and Westbrook down to 3rd. It's a longevity thing any ways. I think Harden will get in over Curry because he's been doing this for a lot of his career in just a different role and this is Curry's breakout year. Kyrie's team is just too bad for him to make this list as well.
I was thinking Harden had a really good chance but if parker keeps playing like this it will be tough. What hurts him tho is they still play so well when parker sits haha. There is no way Kobe is first team if they miss playoffs btw
I doubt it. However it feels good to have someone on our team that is a legitimate possibility for first team
Real List for Guards IMO 1st team: TP, CP3 2nd team: Rapist, Harden 3rd team: Westbrick, Wade Actual list probably (biased as crap) 1st team: Kobe CP3 2nd team: Westbrook Wade 3rd team: Harden Parker
TP is arguably the best player on the best team in the NBA. I think he probably deserves it this year.
