Hard to argue with those selections I reckon!

good to see Bogut get more votes than Nene, Bynum, Chandler etc - especially plying left handed this season

Rondo may have been unlucky to miss out...

I'd make at least two changes:

Swap Dirk and Durant - I think Dirk had the better year and he probably would have been first team if he hadn't missed that stretch of games

Swap Paul and Westbrook - Westbrook was good this year but no way was he better than Paul (and Paul didn't have Durant to help him out)

And maybe swap Wade and Kobe (but I think I am being swayed by playoff form and not regular season)

Good to see Aldridge and Randolph make it over Melo, Griffin, Love etc

I'd be swapping Dirk and Durant around; then swapping Gasol and Aldridge around.

I think Aldridge had a career year and certainly had more of an impact for his team than Gasol did for LA.

I'll go out on a limb as well and say that Blake Griffin should have been in the All NBA 3rd team instead of Al Horford.

Wade was better in the regular season than Kobe IMO, and though they don't always count for much, the stats back me up as well.

I think people might be basing their views on Dirks Playoff explosion rather then on regular season performances. Dirk has been outstanding in the playoffs but no one was talking about the Mavs and him until the secound round of the playoffs.

That's not true David. Everyone was talking about Dirk for the first half of the season. And when he got injured and the Mavs lost a heap of games without him his case was even stronger. I think the fact that the Mavs (and Dirk to a lesser extent) had a fairly average finish to the season really hurt him. Durant on the other hand had an average start to the season but finished strongly (when everyone is voting)
