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.
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
at Wade. He took half the season off. If we are talking 2008 Wade contributing to a 66 (well probably 70+ if you have Wade playing at that level all season) then that's one thing. However Wade's level of play fluctuated throughout the year while Kobe was pretty consistent.
to Wade for that 3rd team even though the knee wasn't right for a good portion of the year. He ain't done just yet.
at the overrating of CP3 is becoming sickening. First CP3 making 1st team all defense when he didn't deserve to, and now he makes 1st team All NBA when both Parker and Westbrook are both more deserving than him? And
Blake Griffin making an All-NBA team over LMA???
These coaches are fukking clueless and are as worse than the media when it comes to voting.
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.
Nobody really distanced themselves from Kobe though. Harden was close with the numbers and the W's but close isn't gonna be enough to knock Kobe off. You have to be undeniably better on both fronts.at Wade. He took half the season off. If we are talking 2008 Wade contributing to a 66 (well probably 70+ if you have Wade playing at that level all season) then that's one thing. However Wade's level of play fluctuated throughout the year while Kobe was pretty consistent.
So I guess its safe to safe the media and the coaches don't know shyt when it comes to voting for NBA awards.
