The All-NBA team was announced today, and the first team was no surprise — James Harden and Russell Westbrook are the guards, LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard the forwards, and Anthony Davis the center. It’s always amused me that the league would pick this team by position — as if a team with Harden, Westbrook and LeBron on it would function at all without three basketballs in play.
In other words the whole thing is kind of a joke — just the league hyping itself, like the movie industry does with the Academy Awards. Is there really any objective way to determine if Tom Hanks is a better actor than Robert DeNiro?
