    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?

    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:
