Be nice to see Curry on at least one of the teams.
james harden on 3rd team? What? Harden played better than westbrook. I agree that Wade should be over Curry, since the heat had a better record. funny how Howard made 3rd team, and he wants max contract. Good for timmy at his age to be all nba 1st team
first thing I said too…westbrook had a nice season but harden exploded
i kinda contradicted my statement with the better record part since OKC had a better record than HOU, but Harden carried that team was a top scorer. When does top one of the leagues stop scorers make only 3rd team. Harden had good stats besides just scoring. Westbrook was really good, but Harden was great.
Well deserved by Duncan.
That is bull wade 3 team.
There are 10 Guards that separate themselves from all the others. The six that made it deserved to be there. Curry is “arguably” the 7th most deserving. As a “PG”, he has to improve his shooting %, his assist/turnover ratio and his defense. Before you make ridiculous statements about D Wade not belonging, you might want to do your research. All around, NOT ONE aspect of his game is weak. Top notch across the board in all categories and elite in others (like FG% and defense). If you want to put Curry 6th over Harden, I might be able to buy that. But you’re not removing D Wade. Truth is, Wade should likely be 2nd Team and Westbrook 3rd.
Research = smart. Talk = dumb.

How the hell is Curry not on this roster?? He’s one of the best shooters in the league!!
I would take Aldridge and Bosh over Griffin and Lee every day of the week.
