    Kobe Bryant and Shaq don't have many MVPs as Lakers.

    Steve Nash, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook were MVPs

    MVP is overrated because of Media having low IQ, Nike biased

    The NBA don't want James Harden as a Image for them a bearded guy, that goes to strip clubs and parties. Well that is LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

    Yep. People tuned into Rockets games for the same reason I kept watching the last season of Game of Thrones. "Hate Watching"

    Theres almost 0 chance that he get elected to any all nba teams. He missed waay too many games and also his games as a rocket sucked. Hes been awesome for the nets, and he should be all nba if he played almst full season, but its not going to happen for him.

    If Harden can’t win championship this season, he basically got nothing reward this season. No scoring title, no MVP...

    Funny, even though they are the best team, there will probably be no Nets in the all-NBA team, because their best player didn't play enough games, their second best player didn't play enough games, and their third best player will probably get edged out by Bradley Beal, and rightly so.

    dude really put Embiid down as a forward for his All-NBA team...

    Wtf is Vucevic doing on here?

    How is Kyrie not on a team, but u slip Russ in at 3rd and have the below .500 Wizards with 2 guys making All-NBA?

    these are the people who get votes...

    Jesus... I know kids who could do better with an all nba vote.

    Edit: seriously if you voted Westbrook either of the last two years you are an absolute moron. Westbrook is the only player in the nba who gets to suck for most the season, have a good stretch and get rewarded like he was awesome all year. It’s nuts.

    The funny thing is that GM's would trade 90 percent of the guys on this list for James Harden if given the opportunity.

    Russ was absolutely atrocious until March, and it’s like it never happened

    Giving the Wizards 2 All-NBA selections is embarrassing. How do u have 2 All-NBA players, but your team finishes the year 34-38?

    Kyrie had a 50/40/90 season on the 2nd best team in the East, but Russ got triple doubles, so he’s just gotta be on All-NBA instead.

    there’s too many people that should have no business voting on things…Chris Haynes should stick to writing the occasional article and dropping the occasional bit of inside info, and that’s it

    Embiid as a forward on All-NBA? I mean, c’mon…

    well they had the opportunity this year, and only BK and Philly were serious…Boston, Miami, and Denver didn’t even try

    Did Brooklyn even give that much from their current roster?

    they gave 3 rotation players, 3 picks, and 4 swaps

    Harden by himself is just more impactful than all those guys combined, and Marks does a great job of finding or acquiring role players to fill out the roster

    Boston, Miami, and Denver didn’t even try

    Miami and Boston tried. They just realized the game pretty early on. Also, Harden had a list of teams. I don't think Denver was on that list.

    Miami offered hardly anything...Boston especially didn’t try

    Rockets were still having talks with Denver, and they wouldn’t include Murray

    We should have waited when Celtics were going in a tailspin the Celtics might have offered brown.

    He was able to escape from Tilman. That's a fat W.

    Also gets to play on a team where he can be 3rd option on any given night and their team still dominates. Another W.

    for whatever reason, the nba said he was eligible to be a forward, i guess because of jokic. kind of sucks for centers that there's only one spot.

    1995 hakeem, who was the best player in the game and dominated the playoffs, got 3rd team all nba because the 2 guys who had better regular seasons just happened to be robinson and shaq. so the 3rd best regular season got 3rd team all nba. just making it backcourt/frontcourt probably makes more sense really.
