Who makes your All-NBA teams?

[scaryness]

All-NBA teams are my favourite award exercise in NBA, felt like polling the NBA forum.

My teams
1st team:
G: James Harden
G: Damian Lillard
F: LeBron James
F: Anthony Davis
C: Karl-Anthony Towns

2nd team:
G: Chris Paul
G: DeMar DeRozan
F: Kevin Durant
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo
C: Joel Embiid

3rd team:
G: Steph Curry
G: Victor Oladipo
F: LaMarcus Aldridge
F: Paul George
C: Clint Capela

Solid list.

Depends if they see AD as a forward. He's basically 50/50 between PF and C, so they may pick Durant over him as a true forward.

This would bump AD to the Center and KAT would drop to the 2nd team, which knocks Embiid to the 3rd and Capela misses out.

Wouldn't be shocked to see them go with Westbrook over Oladipo either. Westbrook might even make the 2nd team.

Steph in the 3rd seems fair. Would be a walk up start for 1st, but missed too many games to be considered.

Not sure about Paul George either. Not sure who I'd pick over him though.

No Russ?
I'll do my list in a bit.

Jokic has to be in there somewhere.

He's only qualified for C. No chance

Capela over Jokic? You’re having a laugh...

Ben simmons has had a better year than Chris Paul. Seriously a heap better defender and much more efficient with shot by around 7%. Most importantly though he doesnt hold on to the ball too long like Paul does in the Houston system at times. Much lower turnover count and nearly three rebounds a gmae more also.

Tell me right now who beats him?
I know the playoffs have started and this is 100% a regular season award.
Who gets in over him?

 

[fidstar]

If AD is classified as a center, then AD, Towns and Embiid.

Capella wouldn't be a shock either. Like it or not winning always influences these awards.

Flip of the coin, Lillard has been huge in the second part of the year

Bent the positions a little bit for Butler. Would consider him a SG rather than a SF. Can't fault the rest, I would have swapped Towns and Embiid.

Basketball ref has him playing 21% of his time as a forward, so it was quite the bend...

Pretty close. I think the 76ers having more finals sucess helps, Also helps not running into the ****ing rockets
