Best Five In The NBA Announced

Text

For the first time since 2003/2004, two players from the same team, Nash and Stoudemire, have been chosen for the best five.

Besides Steve Nash and Amar Stoudemire, the best five also includes Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki. Their teams all play in the Western Conference, and Duncan has been elected in the team of the season for the ninth time, which is more than any other active player.

The playmaker Steve Nash was unanimously chosen for the best five, now for the third time. He is the first player since Magic Johnson to have an average above 18 points and 11 assists. Bryant was helped by the fact that in four games in a row he scored 50 or more points, and his average is more than thirty points. Stoudemire has an average of 20 points and nearly 10 jumps, which is a personal record. For the third time in a row, the German “blonde angel” Dirk Nowitzki has been chosen for the team of the season, mostly because of his accuracy. These five are certainly excellent, but there will always be people disappointed that LeBrone James, Carlos Bozzer, Baron Davis and many others did not make it in. The choice for the MVP league still lies before the NBA.
