My NBA first team lineup and whysteemCreated with Sketch.

in sports •  7 years ago 

Hey guys, this is my first post on Steemit so I decided to start with the right foot talking about a very common topic; Basketball.

The NBA (National Basketball Association) provides basketball at its finest level, even if you don't get to start or even making it to the bench, being part of an NBA team is a huge deal. This because of the odds of making it to the league. Now, once you are part of the NBA, you have to work hard to stay in the NBA and even harder to get into the All-NBA first team. 

LeBron James

I don't think there's much to say about The King. He can play easily 5 positions in one game, he's dominated the league for almost 13 years. Many people place him at the GOAT debate but he has lost 5 finals so that kinda takes credit from him. I'd start him as my Point Guard as he's averagin 8.5 assists per game. 4 times MVP, 3 times NBA champion.

Kevin Durant

"Durantula" has an amazing scoring ability with his pull-up game and his long arms, he can score from anywhere. His chemistry with his new Golden State teammates is incredible and his defense has improved to almost 2 blocks per game. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo 

This young fella (at age of 22) is dominating the league with his strong paint game, the way he runs up the court and simply because of the fact that very few people can stop him. "The Greek Freak" as he's called puts everything on the court and has mixed up well with his new teammate Eric Bledsoe, making them the highest scoring duo to the point that Giannis has signed up with Nike and is ready to release his first ever signature shoe.

Anthony Davis

Now you may seem a little surprised by this one but stay tuned because I am telling you why he is in my top 5. Since college "The Brow" showed great understanding of the game and his role in this one. He's one of the best 2-way players in the league, this means he gets the job done in both sides of the court. At age of 23, Davis has struggled with making his team a playoffs team but he has displayed great basketball to the point that he's in the DPOY discussion and even MVP discussion, a bright future awaits for Anthony but so far, his work in the paint has brought happiness to many people in New Orleans. (To understand why he's here, watch this:

)

Andre Droummond 

Now if you were surprised with Davis, Droummond is going to blow your mind. Even though he's not the best free throw shooter, his rebounding ability is one of the best America has ever witnessed, making him the player with the most 20-20 games (20 points 20 rebounds) of the season. His heart, his way to light up a dead city like Detroit is amazing, he has lifted up the Pistons making them a Title Contender. 

Honourable Mentions

Steph Curry: simply the best shooter of all time, not as athletic as I would like, simple.

Kawhi Leonard: the best 2-way player in the league, he would've been there if it wasn't because of his actual injury, love the way he can score from any place in the court.

We are blessed with a great generation of young talented players who are willing to put everything on the court in order to satisfy you with the best basketball in the world. Let me know your All-NBA First Team, don't forget to follow me if you like the article. It is your boy, kd35.
