All-NBA Teams Announced, No Sixers On Any Of Them
NEW YORK (CBS/AP) – The Sixers did not have a good 2012-13 season, this we know. The three All-NBA teams announced today are further proof of this.
The NBA announced their three All-NBA teams, and there wasn't a Sixers player among them. Further, not one Sixers player got a vote to be on any of the three teams. Former Sixers Nikola Vucevic and Andre Iguodala received one vote each.
Jrue Holiday is the only 2013 NBA-All Star not to get at least one All-NBA vote. Several players got votes who did not appear on the All-Star team including JJ Hickson, Raymond Felton, Iguodala and Vucevic.
LeBron James was a unanimous pick for the All-NBA team and Kobe Bryant earned his record-tying 11th first-team selection.
James received all 119 votes for the first team from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the U.S. and Canada. Joining the league's MVP and Bryant on the first team Thursday were Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, San Antonio center Tim Duncan and Clippers guard Chris Paul.
Bryant tied Utah Hall of Famer Karl Malone with his 11th first-team nod.
NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony led the second team, joined by guards Russell Westbrook and Tony Parker, center Marc Gasol and forward Blake Griffin.
The third team was Houston's James Harden, Miami's Dwyane Wade, Lakers center Dwight Howard and forwards Paul George of Indiana and David Lee of Golden State.
