The All-NBA Second Team list consists of Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Chris Paul, and Damian Lillard. Lillard is the only player on this list that did not make the All-Star game, but unlike Pelicans big man Anthony Davis, Lillard qualifies for the ‘Rose Rule’ extension, which will net him an extra year to his contract worth $20 million dollars.
The All-NBA Third Team list consists of Kyle Lowry, Paul George, LaMarcus Aldridge, Klay Thompson, and Andre Drummond.
The surprising snubs are the aforementioned Anthony Davis who had a shortened but productive season due to injury and who’s team missed the playoffs. James Harden was also a surprise as he was last season’s NBA Players choice for league MVP, and runner up to Stephen Curry.
Curry led voting with 645 and LeBron James followed with 637.
