Who's another 2 that played better than him this year? We'll wait.

Harden and Wade

Harden had better results with a worse roster than Kobe, and Of course wade was the 2nd best player on a team that won 66 games and 27 straight and posted career highs in effiency

Kobe 27/6/5 57%TS
James Harden 25/6/5 60%TS
Wade 21/5/5 57%TS

Kobe 45 wins - expected to win 65+ and title - did not meet expectations
Harden 45 wins - exceeded expectations
Wade 66 wins - 27 game win streak. shooting career high 52%. Plays 4 less minutes than Kobe and Harden still put up same rebounds and assist

team success plays a part as well

There was no rational argument for Wade on 1st no matter how well his team did. That's Bron's fault.

Wade wasn't carrying the team like the other two, didn't have the numbers and efficiency will only get you but so far. If he had put up 25/5/5, this would be a hard decision. But he didn't, so it isn't.

Wade played 4 fewer minutes so that factors, what about russy or tony on 1st team over kobe?

so you're gunna act like injuries didn't play a role in the lakers not meeting expectations? and ignore that Wade was ghost until what december, january? and that Harden was completely shytty for the last 2 months or so?

i'm not gunna argue with you if you say Wade, Parker, or Westbrook deserved it, but to act like Kobe has no case for first team is ridiculous.

They got the first team right, but they have no real rhyme or reason on how they pick this team. The first team has to small forwards, second team has two pg's and third team has two sg's. With that being said LMA Chris Bosh Al Jefferson and Brook Lopez all deserved a spot as one of the bigs over Blake. Steph deserved a spot too. But the only one I can see him getting in over was Parker and that's only cuz TP got hurt near the end of the season. But he was touted as an MVP for most of the season before that. So I aint too upset that he got a spot over Steph. But next season I got Curry getting that 1st team spot.

Eh, the minutes is on DWade and his health. He's never been a high minutes guy relative to a Kobe or Bron anyway.

Russy and Tony were possible. Tony getting injured messed up his chances otherwise I think he could've been over CP3. Russ had an argument, I don't know what it is necessarily but he had 1st caliber play as well. Maybe it was Durant or maybe the voters just didn't think he was better than Kobe. I don't know. :manny:

It's two guards, two forwards, one center; it doesn't matter if it's a small forward vs. power forward or shooting guard vs. point guard.
