Dirk gets All-NBA love for 11th straight season

By Tim MacMahon
DALLAS -- In what has become an annual rite of spring, Dirk Nowitzki got All-NBA recognition.

Nowitzki made the All-NBA second team this season. The Mavs could be seeing the two first-team forwards -- Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant and Miami's LeBron James -- over the next month.

This is the 11th consecutive year Nowitzki has been an All-NBA pick. He's been a first-team selection four times, a second-team selection five times and a third-team selection twice.

Two other Mavericks received All-NBA votes. Tyson Chandler got seven and Jason Kidd got one.

Here’s the full balloting with position, player, team, first-place votes and total points:
