LeBron with 119 first place votes and Derrick/Dwight with 118

For fuck sake, he’s only 22. We’re so lucky, we should be thanking our lucky stars every night

I wonder what kind of sour grapes are involved with the

one media member not voting Dwight Howard as 1st team center. I mean, there’s nobody else even close!

did they let heinsohn vote for rondo?

I'm guessing it's a New York homer. Amare did get 2 first place votes.

One of them was probably for center.

Some of these votes are embarrasing

Emeka Okafur? Jason Kidd? Andrea Bargnani?!?! What sport were they watching?

I remember everyone talking about the third year jump and all,

but this year has just been insane. All-Star starter, youngest MVP ever, All-NBA First Team, and hopefully a ring! Thats craaaaaaaaazy.

Yeh, I remember that too.

It was nearly unimaginable to me that Derrick’s third year would be like this though.

Heh, it’s funny, I remember going to a sports store in Toronto looking for a Rose jersey, they never had one (though they had the Heatles, and Kobe and Dwight and KG, obviously).

Now, apparently, Derrick’s jersey has finally popped up and is a regular fixture in the shop window, so my friend tells me. It’s telling, to me anyway.

I wonder where this 3rd year jump ranks all time.

I’m guessing it’s a top 5 statistical/awards leap, if you asses the different awards some sort of points for difficulty..

One vote for Deng is retarded

Hope he goes out and gets a good game tonight.

You always were second best! And in this business, Bub, second best don't *cut* it!

The NBA Playoffs - always the best reminder why Joakim Noah is my fav Bull

He's disgruntled that no other Bull made the team.

As such, I predict an 18-assist game for Rose.

If he pulls out a '4th quarter in Milwaukee' game, I'll be sure to promptly wet myself.

Rose generally gets pissed when either he or his teammates are slighted in any way, shape, or form. Not being unanimous on the 1st team is gonna do that. Not having any other Bulls on the All-NBA teams even moreso. Game 3 redux? Damn, I hope so.

I know right...

Boozer didn’t even get a single vote. What the hell?!?

Fuck Rondo

Who's to say a -17.8 playoff PER is a bad thing?

by chapuforyou on May 12, 2011 2:51 PM CDT reply actions 3 recs

Anybody else notice that Chris Bosh got the same amount of points as Bargnani?

But still more than Boozer, sigh.

(That’s actually more damning for whoever voted Bargnani for the All-NBA team ahead of Luol Deng)

I'm surprised at the gap between Wade and Kobe in votes

I probably would have went with Wade for first team. I also think Nowitzki should have been first team, but it’s hard to argue with Durant and Lebron.
