    It dawned upon me that a great, great player -- possibly a legit MVP candidate -- will have to be left off the All-NBA 1st team this year. There are 6 players that all have a great case. I list them below, with their primary and secondary positions:

    Chris Paul - PG
    Kobe Bryant - SG / SF
    LeBron James - SF (and whatever else he wants to be)
    Dwyane Wade - SG / PG
    Dwight Howard - C
    Tim Duncan - C / PF


    It's hard to imagine Paul, Bryant, James, or Howard being left off the 1st team. That leaves Wade and Duncan on the bubble. They could keep Duncan as a 1st team forward, and have:

    Paul - Bryant - James - Duncan - Howard

    Or, they could put Wade at guard and slide Bryant over to forward, leaving Duncan for either 2nd team forward or center:

    Paul - Wade - Bryant - James - Howard

    How do you think it will shake out?

    I'll second this selection.

    Although I suspect that at year's end it will be:

    1st team

    Paul
    Bryant
    Howard
    James
    Duncan

    And they will pick in position no point having Lebron at PF so you can squeeze in Wade.

    Eh no? I didn't choose "hybrids". Unlike some other 5's in this thread, these guys actually play these positions. Duncan isn't there because of that. Thus, Garnett. Who else?

    all-nba team are who plays that position, 2 guards, 2 forwards and a center.

    Garnett is a b**** and severely overrated. Duncan WAY better than him right now, Amare is playing better not to mention quite a few other. Garnett should have a difficult time finding it on even the 3rd team

    Well, since GMs have the sharpest eye for talent, the highest paid players must be the best players.

    PG - Stephon Marbury (21,937,500)
    SG - Allen Iverson (21,937,500)
    SF - Tracy McGrady (21,126,874)
    PF - Kevin Garnett (24,750,000)
    C - Jermaine O'Neil (21,352,500)


    Notable backups: Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neil, Steve Francis, and Tim Duncan)


    Best 3 teams: Knicks 97mil, Mavericks 92mil, Cavs 90mil
    Worst 3 teams: Grizzlies 52mil, Clippers 60mil, Bobcats 61mil

    Oh, he's a "b****". Well, I knew that you were smart, but I didn't realize the degree until now. Amare? Are you sure? The guy doesn't play enough defense to warrant a spot as a FOUR on my all-nba team. Period. He appeals to kids though. As you refer to adult men as b****es, I'd guess you're about 15 or so and no doubt Amare appeals to you. I don't know a soul that would list Amare as the best power forward in the game. Either you're without a soul, or we've run across the missing link or something like that. Congrats.

    Garrnett doesnt play enough offense to warrant him a spot. And how would you describe a 7 foot player who attempts to injure players under 6 feet on a consistant basis? b****y seems pretty accurate to me. And I didnt say Amare was the best, I said he was better than KG. Duncan is easily the best PF, no questions asked.

    I wouldn't list Amare as the best but he's playing better than garnett. I mean at least he doesen't scream at little spanish pg's to make himself feel better.

    :rolleyes:
