Yep, the discrepancy lies between the fact that the DPOY is voted by the media, whereas the All-Team selections are made by the 30 head coaches around the league.
Over the last few years, the DPOY has been more reliable. Hence, we can only come to a conclusion that NBA coaches don't know much about the players in this league.

There is no way Shane shouldn't have been 1st team this year.
Then, they should get rid of it.
Amazing how something that carried a significant weight during the 80s and the 90s have become a joke.

Wow.
I understand why they wouldn't give Yao a vote. I don't understand why Shane didn't make 1st team though. That was his goal for this year.
