1st Team
C - Dwight Howard
F - Kevin Garnett
F - LeBron James
G - Kobe Bryant
G - Chris Paul

2nd Team
C - Tim Duncan
F - Amare Stoudemire
F - Dirk Nowitzki
G - Deron Williams
G - Steve Nash

3rd Team
C - Yao Ming
F - Carlos Boozer
F - Paul Pierce
G - Manu Ginobili
G - Tracy McGrady

Can't believe Yao made the team despite missing majority of the season.

It drives me NUTS how Duncan is ALWAYS a PF until it's him or Yao on the All-NBA Center spot. Whoops, I'm magically a center now!

Personally i thought T-Mac deserved second team selection considering what he did for the team this season.

T-Mac didn't do much statistically. His being on the court was the main thing, especially on the 22 game winning streak.

I think everybody's fine where they are, but like other's I'm surprised Yao made it considering the amount of games he made. I'm not complaining though :)

That 3rd team would kick 2nd team's ass

If Yao were healthy, he would have made at least 2nd team.

Nash and Deron are great but Tracy McGrady deserves to be in the second team, the team-record with him in the 60 games he played is awesome, plus Tracy McGrady finished before Deron and Nash in Mvp award.

In terms of importance to their respective teams, I agree with the 2nd team argument for T-Mac
