Guys like Chris Bosh, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo and Carlos Boozer missed placed in the teams as well. Who was the most unlucky to miss out?

Fantastic achievement from Bogut. Great to have the recognition from the league. This should see his chances of an all-star appearance next season improve.

LC - you say those guys are unlucky to miss out. i agree. but who do you take out to make room? the only one i see who i would replace is rondo/rose with roy

what would you have done?

Those teams need no changing they were the best players,

So really talented players missed out but you cant put them ahead of these player after the performance this season

I love the look of the NBA first team, Imagine that lining up against the boomers at the world champs

The second coming of the Dream Team!

I'm not saying you take anyone out ro that anyone was not worthy of being named - I just stated they were unlucky and asked as to whom was the most unlucky out of that lot! For what it's worth, I think Bosh was the unlucky one...

That's a great result for Bogut, had a feeling he might have missed out after being shunned in the all defensive team so it's great to see him in there, particularly getting more votes than Duncan and Pau.

Beginning to wonder if Humpa is still alive? Not quite a bust if you're listed as one of the best centres in the league, beaten out by an MVP candidate and someone who probably plays mostly at PF.

Haha Isaac, but in his defence, at least Humpa uses his own tag when he's hating instead of posting hate anonymously. The Ater Majok thread, for one, comes to mind.

Even Tyreke Evans could be considered unluck not to be in the third team. Possibly not considered due to lack of team success? every member of the All-NBA teams are on playoff rosters.

Bogut should have been on the 2nd team. He WAS the 2nd best Centre in the league behind Howard in all aspects. I hate it when a dedicated PF like Amare gets moved into a different group to accomodate the likes of Nowitski.

Pick one or the other and move the other guy down to the 3rd team.

The Bogut/Jennings combo worked a treat this year. Bucks need to retain their starters; promte Illoysova over Mbah-a-Moute and palm of Michael Redd and Charlie Bell. Gadzuric needs to go and be replaced by a legitimate backup to Bogut.

Gortat anyone? (I wish).

Those three guys account for $30 million of their salary next season alone and yet all 3 are dead wood. However after next season, the Bucks can wipe them off their books. So realistically, they are just 1 more season away from being able to go after some decent free agents in the off-season.

Bogut should be in the 2nd team ahead of Amare.

Bogut was the 2nd best centre in the league after Howard.

Still good to see him recognised though, just should have been that little bit higher.

Excellent recognition of Bogut's achievements. I was really looking forward to the Bucks giving the playoffs a shake before his injury. They still did well to take the series to 7, but would have gone at least to the semis with Bogut.

I hate it when a dedicated PF like Amare gets moved into a different group to accomodate the likes of Nowitski.

Big Marty, I agree. And let's not forget that Duncan was the C in the All-D 2nd team, yet here he's listed as a forward. It should be one or the other, not switching positions to suit different teams. It just doesn't make a lot of sense.

But good to see Bogut get some recognition anyway, especially after he was left off (snubbed) of the defensive teams.

Simmons' solution doesn't make any sense at all.
First, he says that his problem is that Duncan is a centre, not a forward. Ok, fair enough.

Then, why on earth is the solution to order the "centres" Duncan, Stoudemire, Bogut???
If you're moving Duncan to the 2nd team because he's a centre, then you can't have Stoudemire be the centre on the 3rd team - he got more votes.

There's 4 possible situations:
1. Stoudemire is a C, Duncan is a PF
2. Both are C
3. Both are PF
4. Duncan is a C, Stoudemire is a PF

1 is the way the teams are now.
2 would result in Duncan missing out, as he would be the 4th ranked C
3 & 4 would both result in Bogut moving to 2nd team, Stoudemire to 3rd team and Gasol out

Note - they would only be the results if each team required 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 centre. If it's just the 15 highest vote-getters, then they stay as they are. I would assume that this is actually the case, and is why Duncan/Gasol have been listed at F, while Stoudemire has been listed at C - to ensure there's no case of someone in the 3rd team getting more votes than someone in the 2nd team.

Not necessarily five highest vote getters in first team, as per last years results : http://www.nba.com/2009/news/05/12/allnba.team.release/ CP3 with more votes than Dirk, but relegated to second team as two guards in first team already.

Does the league, or the coaches determine the players positions when they are being voted for ?

I think people should stop complaining, he's lucky to be on the 3rd team; and deservedly so. Those names mentioned above did play better than Bogut. People need to stop having favourism just because he's Australian.

Dirk and Pau isn't American either, so I think NBA has done good for Bogut and is fair. Been the top 3 centers in the league is great recognition as it is that lines him up in NBA's elite.

TBH, whilst Duncan was solid i dont believe he was All NBA team worthy.. thought Boozer had a much better season.

The Suns centre position was shared between Channing Frye who averaged 28 mins and Robin Lopez who averaged 20. Amar'e was exclusively used at the 4 and is listed on NBA.com as a forward.

How that makes him the 2nd best CENTRE in the game is beyond comprehension.

Duncan is just as bad, seemingly switching between the 4 and 5 depending on what works out best for him for all-star selections and awards, etc.

Anyway it's great recognition for Bogues. Good on him.
