all-NBA team announced

This would be my choice for the all-NBA team as well:

Derrick Rose, Chicago
Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers
LeBron James, Miami
Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City
Dwight Howard, Orlando

Not bad that Kobe keeps on doing it. I’m too tired to look up his age, but I’m guessing he must be around 34 or 35 by now.

[ADDENDUM: My mistake, he’s only 32. At this rate he has a not-too-bad chance of retiring as the all-time career scoring leader in the NBA. The current leader, of course, is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and you may be surprised to hear that Karl Malone is 2nd. In my opinion, the critiques of Malone that he “wasn’t a winner” just because his teams never won the NBA championship are ridiculous. He and Stockton took Utah to the Finals in both 1997 and 1998, and they would surely have won both years if not for… the return from retirement of one Michael Jeffrey Jordan. No one was going to beat Jordan in the Finals. Don’t hold it against Malone.]
