Kawhi on the first team and Duncan made the second.

Congrats.

Not though those two didn't deserve it (because they did) but the two teams just shows the wrong people are in charge of voting.

DJ is not a top defender. At least not deserving of the top few teams. Same as CP.

And Davis is even further below them.

Had a look at the rest of the votes, lol this is a popularity contest yet again.

Steph Curry with 14 votes (2 for first team) more votes than Beverley, Carrol, Whiteside, Middleton, Ibaka, Noel, Noah, Conley...

Time for these to be voted by coaches (75% weighting) and players (25%).

Maybe even give GM's 25% as well. I really think it's time for the NBA to ditch the writers as voters for awards and All-NBA teams, most of the voters are complete jokes.

I really don't get the issue guys have with DeAndre Jordan. I don't watch too many of his games because I don't follow the Clippers, but the Spurs series shows me what a handful Jordan is on the defensive end. The way he changes how we attack the paint reminds me of Ibaka, and Jordan is a much more dominant rebounder, not to mention bigger and moves better too. Even if you'd argue that he shouldn't be on the 1st team, then he totally deserves being on the 2nd team.
