PG: Steve Francis Hey, which other point guard carried his team the way Franchise did? No second thoughts. Worthy mentions: Allen Iverson the critic basher, MVP season, no arguements here Duds: John Stockton, retire already ! SG: Kobe Bryant Playoff time was when Kobe started firing up. I was a kobe basher previously, but this kid has shown the skill and flair to play the game. Absolutely awesome! Worthy mentions: Derek Anderson, Vince Carter Duds: Shanon Anderson ( I just HAD to say this) SF: Kevin Garnett On a team rocked in the preseason by illegalities, Da Kid still managed to keep the wolves running Worthy mentions: Dirk Nowitski Duds: Quitten 'nuff said! PF: Tim Duncan Fundamentally the most sound player in the NBA. Also, his quiet character helps too. Worthy mentions: Karl Malone, yea yea we hate him, but he just keeps going and going and going... Duds: Chris Webber, sure! Houston wants him, but some of us fans don't! As the skills to carry a team, but won't accept responsibility for it, how selfish and wimpy can you get? I don't like wusses. C: Shaq O Neal Big Daddy Diesel is going to dominate like the Big Dipper himself. He has learnt and added so many moves to his offense and is more dominatant in the paint than ever. Can you say Laker Dynasty: The next generation? Worthy mention: Dikembe Mutombo Better than ever in capitol land. Duds: Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing. One didn't know when to leave the game, the other came back too soon. Incidentally, notice the Georgetown link here? ------------------ Do not harm little children!
Which other point guard carried his team the way Francis did? You just mentioned him yourself. Allen Iverson (although, I suppose, you could consider him a SG). And I find it ironic that your title states "through the playoffs" and the all-nba PG is Steve Francis, who, although being a GREAT talent, has not yet led his team to a playoff berth. ------------------
All-Playoff teams: (1st team, 2nd team, 3rd team) C - Shaq ('Nuff said), Mutumbo, Davis PF- Duncan, KG, Oakley SF- Vince, Mashburn, Fox (Nowitski and GRob have been a little inconsistent in the playoffs, Fox JUST edges them out) SG - Ivy, Kobe (Tough decision), Ray Allen (Finley JUST misses out, see Nowitski and GRob) PG - Sam I Am, Davis, Stockton All-NBA (including playoffs): (1st team, 2nd team, 3rd team) C - Shaq, Mutumbo, Robinson PF- Duncan, Webber, Malone SF- Garnett, McGrady, Nowitski SG- Bryant, Carter, Allen PG- Iverson, Kidd, Payton ------------------ [This message has been edited by Live (edited May 30, 2001).]
has the all nba team been said yet i think steve did it stat wise and i think he is the best pg in the league. but his team did not make it to the playoffs. so you know j kidd will get it franchise will prob. get 3 team at best. next year steve ------------------
Live, Garnett did nothing in the playoffs, except get schooled by Timmy D. I don't understand how he can be your playoff 1st team PF. ------------------ Liberals favor using artificial means to alter the normal to a state which facilitates and justifies how irresponsible they want to be
I dont think Allen would get 3rd team. ------------------ [This message has been edited by tacoma park legend (edited May 30, 2001).]
How was he statistically the best? Payton was better than he in scoring and assists, not to mention that he is a much better defensive player. Kidd lacked like 2 or 3 ppg, but made up for it with the second best point guard defense and over four assists more than Stevie. He probably wont get 3rd team either...Because in All-NBA there are no point guards or Shooting guards, but guards. So it will probably be: 1st:Iverson, Bryant 2nd-Kidd, McGrady 3rd-Payton, Allen/Finley ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion
