It’s no different than what Lakers fans did last year when other people tried to make the argument of Davis over Lebron and versa for when it came to the topic of MVP.

Booker & Trae should be on here.
Who were the 7 voters who thought Jimmy Butler deserved 1st-team All-NBA? 
I damn near agree with the entire thing. Only real issue is that Tatum shoulda made 2nd-team and Butler should have been knocked off the 3rd-team as a result.

Embiid (1585 minutes) is cool on 2nd team, but Bron (1504 minutes) missed too much time to even make 3rd team. Riiiight.
I'm trying to imagine them leaving prime MJ off of 1st-team All-NBA in 1987 just cause his team sucked.
Or prime Kareem in 1976.
Or prime Big O in any of those years Cincy was terrible.
5th in MVP voting but supposedly not a top-15 player, haters gonna stay mad.Y’all really weren’t watching Suns games this year
CP3 was on 95 ballots with 85 of them being 1st/2nd team. Booker was on 15 ballots and just 3 were 2nd-team. This was a fukking LANDSLIDE, virtually no one who follows the game thought Booker was better than CP3.
Nor does anyone in the Suns organization think Booker was more important to their success than CP3.
Mitchell was only on 22 ballots. He wasn't even close to making it.No spida
Zion wasn't even close - only 31 out of 100 voters thought he should make it. You can't watch the games and claim that Zion was a better basketball player start-to-finish than Butler and Tatum.no Zion
The guy you’re quoting is trying to discredit Chris Paul’s placement on a team based on regular season performance by using a playoff series. Argument should of ended by you just rolling your eyes and moving on.

The voting just doesn’t make sense to me logic wise. CP3s stats don’t jump off the page but he’s rewarded for leadership and team success while players like Donovan Mitchell and Booker are ignored for their roles on teams with top records even though they have big stats to go with it.
Randle gets in without the huge stats but leading a young team to a good record without any other stars yet Trae Young has huge stats and leads a young team to a good record with no other stats (to be fair more talent than the Knicks) but is largely ignored for some reason.
Players like Beal get voted in for stats but Zion, Westbrook, and Tatum get ignored in favor of Butler.
Then there is the whole issue with total number of games missed and how to account for that.
I really don’t know what the right choices are it just doesn’t seem there is too much narrative with some of the votes with no consistency.
More than anything I just hate it being tied to contracts. The league has so much talent now that some all-nba level quality seasons will get passed over and players miss out on big money due to random whims of voters.
On the plus side players on teams that miss out on qualifying for the super max should be excited their players didn’t make it. It’ll help with cap room for the next few seasons if the player resigns.

The NBA letting player contracts be decided (and ultimately tens of millions of dollars for certain guys) by media-voted awards….
Arguably worse than MLB allowing home field advantage to be decided by an All-Star Game where you’re rotating pitchers every other inning
