I realize he has to start aging at some point but as it stands now, it looks like the path to the championship goes through LeBron and AD until further notice. |

Definitely not Jokic if you value defense, though I think that he is the best offensive player of that trio. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

He has already started aging. He can't drive at will and doesn't convert layups like he used to either. Fortunately, he was starting from a higher ceiling and he has adjusted his game well. |

Yup.
To be "declining" in his 17th year and still being a 1st team all NBA player...yeah I'll take that. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

To think we would have an upgraded version of the championship years Kobe-Pau duo so quickly in Lebron-AD. In another thread I said during 08-11, I would have favored Kobe over Lebron in a high stakes matchup during those years. No way I choose any version of Kobe over any version of Lebron starting with his 2nd title to now. As much respect I have for Pau, its hard to say he is as good as AD. |

Fair enough but his point is valid. Jokic is the best offensive center in the league and maybe the most complete one ever if you include his 3 pt ability. |

Different league. Different team. Different mindset. So I don't compare.
I'm grateful the Lakers of old brought us championships. And I'm hopeful the Lakers of the present and future do the same. _________________ ππ π π π #18!!! |

If I am reading the votes correctly. There was one person that didn't vote Anthony Davis to either of the 3 teams lol. I always hope people like that get their vote taken away. Just vote for the best players don't try to use your vote to fit whatever agenda you have. |

We're had more 1st team combos than anyone:
Lebron-AD
Shaq-Kobe
Kareem-Magic
Baylor-West
Mikan-Pollard
Also some 1st-2nd team combos:
Kobe-Gasol
Kobe-Bynum
West-Wilt
Mikan-Mikkelsen |

I would not because of his defensive liabilities and his lack of athletic ability/conditioning. |

Nuggets fans and possibly one person on LG are upset because Jokic made 2nd team and Davis made 1st team. _________________ βYou have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.β - Kobe Bryant |

More likely an anti-Laker bias. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

They both deserve it.
In my opinion and I don't just say this as a Laker fan, I really thought LeBron deserves the MVP and that AD should have been Defensive Player of the Year.
And I love Giannis, but I really did think LeBron was better overall in a tougher conference this season and that AD was overall more impactful on defense. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |
