Wow... laughable to be in the same sentence with Vince and Bosh.... next move up to you Pascal...

Kawhi was 2nd team last year.

No, Derozan and Leonard last year made all-nba second as well.

Props to Pascal, quite the honour named to any All-NBA team. He needs to take a look at his past season and how it started to how it ended for him personally. The groin injury really hampered him, but not playing ball for 3 months is a recipe for disaster. I’m sure he’s going to come into next season with a renewed focus, he’s a great talent on both ends and the investment has been made.

Not true. We can be happy for him as a person, but for his last 1/3 of his regular season performance and the playoffs, we can confidently say he didn’t deserve it. If he can sustain what he shows he is capable of, as he did in the beginning of the season, then id have no issue with him getting rewarded.

Keep in mind this was a weird year. I know its an excuse but maybe he really didn't get any training or shooting during the NBAs long lay off due to COVID. Not only was Siakamas shot way off but he looked visibly slow and not himself out there.

No. The current situation is you have to pay even more for a fraud, until Pascal can prove himself again next season.

The same fraud that averaged 20/8/4 on 50% shooting in the Finals and scored the game-winning basket on the road in Oracle defended by Draymond Green. That fraud? The very same?

Yes the same fraud who just shot under 40% overall and under 10% from 3 and lost us the Boston series.

Everyone who voted Simmons and Westbrook over Lowry should never be allowed to vote again.

I hope he has a confidence boost with this announcement, but at the same time he remains humble and works hard this off-season.. He has a lot to work to do.
