On Tuesday night the All-NBA teams were announced. In addition to the guys above (who got the lead image off them getting a combined 199 out of 200 possible First-Team votes), 13 others were given acknowledgements for their on-court competence. First the First-Team because that seems like the obvious order here:

The 2020-21 All-NBA First Team:

Also here’s how the voters, comprised of a collection of writers and broadcasters, voted. For my money, reading this and contrasting the numbers deserves the largest amount of your time on this post. Notes include Giannis being the only guy to get 100/100 votes for the First-Team. Luka Dončić being the first guy since Tim Duncan to be All-NBA First Team twice in his first three seasons. LeBron extending his NBA league-record with his 17th time getting on one of these squads. And Chris Paul grabbing All-NBA honors for the 10th time (good for second-most amongst active players):

Now that those embeds are out of the way here’s...more embeds. These ones are made up of a fairly random sampling from fans rather than NBA PR. 

Julius Randle made a higher ALL NBA than Jayson Tatum I am sick to my stomach…

This is becoming a serious joke. I got it. @DevinBook changes his game from seeking points to wins and players who didn’t make playoffs, finished as 8th seeds and got swept out the first round still are All NBA players. SMH @Suns https://t.co/SgfyP0KRgw

Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker all didn’t make all-NBA.

Not sure who you bump off … probably says more about how loaded the NBA is with talent.

We need at least 11 All NBA teams imo. Give Lonnie Walker his flowers.
