Outlook: All-NBA Teams

This is the player pool in no particular order as I see it, with Duncan and Shaq being the only First-Team locks. For the others, deciding which team to place them on is the difficult part and will still depend on how well any of them play through their last game of the season.

Guards
Steve Nash
Allen Iverson
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade
Ray Allen
Jason Kidd
Paul Pierce
Gilbert Arenas

Forwards
LeBron James (G/F)
Tracy McGrady (G/F)
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Dirk Nowitzki
Jermaine O’Neal
Shawn Marion

Centers
Amare Stoudemire (F/C)
Shaquille O’Neal
Ben Wallace
Yao Ming

Anyone that should be added or removed? Is anyone fairly confident in their selection predictions?

I think you have the right pool of players, except I don't think Kidd is a real All-NBA candidate this season.

My selections from the pool would be:

All-NBA First Team
Guard: Kobe Bryant
Guard: Tracy McGrady
Forward: Kevin Garnett
Forward: Tim Duncan
Center: Shaquille O'Neal

All-NBA Second Team
Guard: Steve Nash
Guard: Allen Iverson
Forward: LeBron James
Forward: Dirk Nowitzki
Center: Amare Stoudemire

All-NBA Third Team
Guard: Dwyane Wade
Guard: Gilbert Arenas
Forward: Paul Pierce
Forward: Shawn Marion
Center: Yao Ming

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

Re: Outlook: All-NBA Teams

Why do people keep on putting Tmac as a guard? He only plays the SF on the Rockets.

Sg-Kobe Bryant
Sf-Tracy McGrady
Pf-Tim Duncan
C- Shaquille O'neal

Second Team

Pg-Steve Nash
Sg-Lebron James

Re: Outlook: All-NBA Teams

i think wade needs serious 1st team consideration at guard. how many times does the leading scorer on the best team (record wise) in the NBA not earn 1st team all NBA? i think he's at least as good a candidate as AI.
