     Just my predictions for this year with the regular season over… I don’t know how i feel about westbrook after their last game so kemba is pretty close to him and gobert was solid all year although he doesn’t always put up certain numbers you would expect so i wasn’t sure between him, AD, and KAT. And finally i kept switching kd and lebron for the 2nd and 3rd team. I wanna hear some input and what you guys think…

    1st Team:

    Guard: Steph Curry

    Guard: James Harden

    Forward: Paul George

    Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo

    Center: Joel Embiid

    2nd Team:

    Guard: Damian Lillard

    Guard: Russell Westbrook

    Forward: Kawhi Leonard

    Forward: Kevin Durant

    Center: Nikola Jokic

    3rd Team: 

    Guard: Kemba Walker

    Guard: Kyrie Irving

    Forward: Lebron James

    Forward: Blake Griffin

    Center: Rudy Gobert

    Hard to argue with your selections. Mine are slightly different:

    1st Team:

    James Harden

    Steph Curry

    Paul George

    Giannis Antetokounmpo

    Nikola Jokic (More games played, more team success in tougher conference than Embiid)

    2nd Team:

    Damian Lillard

    Kyrie Irving

    Kawhi Leornard

    Kevin Durant

    Joel Embiid

    3rd Team:

    Donovan Mitchell (Averaged 27/4.5/4.5 after the break for a good Utah team) 

    Kemba Walker 

    Lebron James

    Blake Griffin

    Rudy Gobert

      I like your list a ton and totally agree with it, but I can’t see Westbrook not being on one of those teams (at least the 3rd team).

      I’m not really a fan, but he did just average a triple double for the 3rd year in a row. Regardless of how you slice it, it’s impressive.

      Even though he’s eating it in the playoffs, these are supposed to be regular season awards.

        But I’m just not a huge fan. I love his ferocity & how hard he plays (plus he’s become an underrated passer) but personally I cannot overlook how damaging his shooting is and how poorly his team performed when PG-13 was not on the floor. He takes nearly 6 attempts from three per game, and shoots under 30% from behind the arc. It just bugs me…… those are shots that could be distributed to George or extra pick n’ rolls for Adams / Grant that are significantly higher percentage attempts. His supreme confidence in himself leads to his teams losing just as many games as he helps them win

       You are a fickle bunch.. I have the exact same teams as Blackhole who started the thread with the exception of Aldridge over Griffin and I get negged.. 

      To be expected I guess

    I have kind of a hard time including lebron. It’s hard to leave a guy who averaged 27-8-8 off the list but he only played 55 games for a team that missed the playoffs.

    1st team

    Harden Curry Giannis George Jokic

    2nd team

    Lillard Kyrie Durant Kawhi Embiid

    3rd team

    Westbrook Kemba Griffin Aldridge Gobert
