Wow, I have to say this is a pleasant surprise.
Way to go Big German! Edit: He got in by the skin of his teeth. Suck on that Tim Duncan! Dirk - 35 1st place votes, 383 total points Timmah - 39 1st place votes, 378 total points

Wow. Making it over Duncan is a huge accomplishment.
I heart the big German.

Well-effing deserved..as evidenced by this year's playoffs.
edit: http://slamonline.com/online/nba/200...ams-announced/ by Ryne Nelson All-NBA teams have been selected since the League’s inception over 60 years ago. But instead of Bob Feerick and Bones McKinney making the First Team, it’s LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki. There were a few small surprises, but nothing too mind blowing. Dirk notched an unexpected First Team bid over Timmy Duncan. Only four forwards have been First Team All-NBA selections since 2002. With some of the best forwards the game has ever seen passing their prime, a young forward may break the “barrier” as early as next season, joining LeBron on the First Team. Carmelo Anthony Chris Bosh or Al Jefferson could be the ones to do it. If Kevin Durant is considered a forward, I don’t think there’s any question. But I can’t say. Who do you think will be the first forward to dethrone the Duncan-Garnett-Nowitzki troika? The gap between Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul is surprisingly cavernous, considering the statistical fireworks CP3 displayed this season. Wade’s 103 First-Team votes eclipse Paul’s by over 70. Brandon Roy, in his third season, is the youngest in terms of seasons in the League. Roy jumps ahead of Tony Parker despite not having a single first team vote. The center position is just depressing. Yao Ming could miss half the season next year and easily make the Second Team. That’s how wide the gap is between Howard and Yao and the rest of the League. Brook Lopez and Greg Oden are silly raw. Andrew Bynum could be a third-teamer without injuries and a consistent starting role. Tyson Chandler has regressed so much. Andris Biedrins has fewer go-to offensive moves than Dwight Howard. So here’s my pick for 2010 All-NBA Third Team center: Andrew Bogut. Here’s hoping the Aussie can get healthy! That’s assuming this is Shaq’s last year on the All-NBA list. The Big Cactus made his first First Team in 1998, fell to the Second Team in ‘99 and realed off an impressive seven more years of First Team selections before his abrupt fall in ‘07-08. The Big All-NBA is back on the list in 2009, but he could be back again during his last go-around in 2010.

I think Durant should have at least been 3rd team.

Wow, I'm almost shocked, took me completely by surprise. I thought he was going to be voted to the 2nd team at best.

Why does the third team have six players (three guards) on it, given that there were no ties in points? They just HAD to get both Parker and Ginobili on all-NBA teams? Makes no sense--Ginobili didn't even play for half the season.

Great pics!
You think Paris Hilton teared at her shirt on purpose?  Edit: Oh, I see, Ashlee Simpson carries the answer to this problem. Too bad. Last edited by mavErika; 05-13-2009 at 04:25 PM. |

Well. I guess there goes the talk about Dirk not getting respect lol. Congrats to Dirk. I thought he was good enough to be a first teamer but didn't think he would actually get it.

I really would've been surprised if he didn't make it. I commented on it a few weeks ago that he should be a lock for the 1st team. KG wasn't going to get it for health so that pretty much left Duncan vs Dirk and Dirk clearly was the better player this year. I figured they'd work around the G position by putting LeBron at SF and I don't think anyone can gripe about that.
Dirk is special.

I'm not surprised DIrk got on, I was thinking he may have been 2nd if they put 3 guards in 1st team (Kobe/Paul/Wade) and designated Kobe a forward. Well deserved by Dirk. 4 time all nba 1st team 3 time all nba 2nd team 2 time all nba 3rd team 9 x All Star 2007 MVP 2006 NBA Champion (wanna fight about it?) What an accomplished young man our beloved Dirk is |
