I am sorry if there is a post for this already and I hope there is not a place where this is sopposed to go because I don't really care about the opinions of the other members besides the Laker crew (you guys)

It might be a little off because I just wrote down exactly what came to mind so maybe with more thought and research it might be different.
Tell me what you guys think, I know the rookie and the defensive teams might be a little off.

Tim Duncan must be feeling lonely after that.

I forgot to put Duncan on the third team. Put him on and take off melo.

I'm relatively new here, so I maybe off-base, but it seems like you enjoy lists and rankings.

I love rankings because it's good when there is nothing to talk about and it shows me who thinks like me bball wise.

MVP = Kobe
ROY = Durant
COY = Scott

First team

Howard
Duncan
Lebron
Kobe
Paul

The only problem I had with Duncan on the first team is even though I take him over just about any other big is Manu really carried that team maybe as much as Duncan and Amare and Howard and a few others just had much bigger years.
That first team thought would be my top 5 best players list so you could easily make the arguement for that being the first team.

Other awards I guess we agree.
(I wrote back)

MVP = Chris Paul (with Bryant virtually tied)
DPOY = Marcus Camby (with Kevin Garnett close in 2nd)
COY = Byron Scott
6MOY = Manu Ginobili
ROY = Tossup between Kevin Durant and Al Horford
Most improved = Chris Kaman

edit: Got Kobe for MVP now after last nights game, but it's still extremely close between him and Paul.

Kaman for MIP. I forgot that one. Bynum would have had it for sure.

Why do you have Gordon for 6MOY btw? I think Manu for 6MOY is the most obvious pick of any award this season to be honest.

Off the top of my head

All NBA Teams:

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

2nd:
C - Amare Stoudemire
F - Tim Duncan
F - Paul Pierce
G - Manu Ginobili
G - Steve Nash

3rd:
C - Marcus Camby
F - Carlos Boozer
F - Dirk Nowitzki
G - Chauncey Billups
G - Deron Williams

HM: Allen Iverson

All Defensive Teams:

1st:
C - Marcus Camby
F - Tim Duncan
F - Kevin Garnett
G - Kobe Bryant
G - Chauncey Billups

2nd:
C - Dwight Howard
F - Shane Battier
F - Stephen Jackson
G - Devin Harris
G - Chris Paul

HM: LeBron James (yes, you read it correctly)

MVP - Kobe
COY - Rick Adelman
ROY - Durant
DPOY - KG
MIP: Jose Calderon

Ginobili and Prince should be up there for all defensive teams, no lower than 2nd team all defense, imo.

I was wondering the same thing.

Star you basically said Manu carries his team, but then he's not 6MOY? Where's the logic in that? Because he's too good to come off the bench?

Ginobili does start a lot of games, but I think he came off the bench more this year.

It kind of weird to give him the award, because he's obviously not only a starter-caliber player, he's one of the best players in the league.

He only started 23 out of 73 games thus far, and the cutoff is 50% so he's easily eligible for the award, but yeah, I can understand that.

My little contribution....


Id put Juancarlos Navarro in a rookie team. He was one of the eight players that went to rookie team in allstar, he deserves!

You forgot to give the award to mitch....

the gasol trade, signed fisher and acquired ariza...

Mitch is certainly one of the top candidates for EOY, but Danny Ainge has to get some recognition as well for assembling a team that made the biggest turnaround in NBA history as far as wins are concerned.

MVP - Kobe
COY - Phil Jackson/Byron Scott
ROY - Durant
DPOY - Kobe
MIP - It was Bynum's before he went down
6th Man - Manu
GM - Mitch
