Lebron is entering the MJ zone where everyone is so used to how good he is, they completely take him for granted. Same number of votes as Curry? Curry has had a great season, but imagine Lebron playing point-forward on that GSW team. They would have had an even better year, I've no doubt. Probably could have chased the 72 win mark.
Also, I've got a feeling those 3rd team bigs would take the 2nd team bigs to school.

All-NBA team is out... Are Derozon (top 25) and Lowry (top 40) viewed upon correctly?
The All-NBA votes are out. Both DeRozon (3 votes) and Lowry (1 vote) got votes. Rudy Gay got three votes!
I suppose that it is a story that has been well written many times, but Lowry really was having an all-NBA season til the calender flipped. It shows here...
I was also surprised to see that DeRozan got some love but not sure that I would prefer him over any of the other guards there.
No bradley beal so perhaps "Best Backcourt in the East" still stands?
Thoughts?
