If your name doesn't appear hear and you sent votes, let me know. I may have put your name on the list as the wrong team or something.

Interesting. Surprised Ben wasn't a unanimous selection for 1st team defense.

Nice work Scott.

Its 50 points to vote. I feel like next year we should start the thread earlier to remind people and give more points if more people vote.

[Scott]

Some interesting notes:

-Shaq got 6 of the 8 MVP votes (Yao and Kobe got the other 2, and no Nova did not vote for Yao!)

-Shaq was on 7 of the 8 1st teams (Yao beat him out on that one)

-Brand was also on 7 of the 8 1st teams (Ben Wallace beat him out)

-Marion and Iverson each missed being unanimous 1st team all-defense by one vote. This was the most clear-cut defensive team voting I've seen.

-David Lee won the league's 1st team All-Rookie PF vote even though the game did not give him 1st or 2nd team.

Interesting results, and hopefully we can get more ballots next season with it being summer and a lot of the guys in college can hopefully have the time to vote.

I'd like to open it earlier, but it seems like when I do I always get a couple people that send the ballot in that day (even if it's Day 60 or 70) even though I try to specify to wait until Day 90 or later. I definitely think it would be much better to open it earlier, so I think I'll try that next season.

What if we do this for voting points:
50 points to vote, 100 points for me if we have less than 18
100 points to vote, 200 points for me if we get 18 or more

I know this isnt an easy process for you but I have reservations about giving 2 RCs for any 1 job.

[DB]

looks good just forgot to do it this year, oh well.

[Ducky]

nadda

[Phoenix Phil]

How does Ron Artest not make an all-defensive team?

[cjmjones008]

Kobe and KG 1st team all league
KG 2nd team defense

I got GMoY which is cool. I think I added the most to my team but after the playoffs I don't know if I deserve it.

Nice Parker
