Magic center Dwight Howard, who made his first all-star game appearance this season, was named to the all-NBA third team Thursday.

Amare Stoudemire of the Phoenix Suns -- who played briefly at Orlando's Cypress Creek High School -- topped all centers in the voting and was named to the first team. Center Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets made the second team.

Howard, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 draft, led the Magic in scoring (17.6 per game) and rebounding (12.3). He also led in blocked shots with 156.

He is expected to sign a five-year extension with the Magic this summer for about $80 million.

Tracy McGrady was the last Magic player to be named to any of the three all-NBA teams, earning a second-team honor in 2003-04.

The 129-member voting panel of writers and broadcasters throughout the U.S. and Canada consisted of national media members and representatives from each of the 30 teams who cover the league.

The media voted for all-NBA first, second and third teams by position, with points awarded on a 5-3-1 basis.

Good for Dwight. Next season I suspect he'll be moving up to 1st or 2nd team.
