ESPN experts predict the best lineup: Yali asks teacher to lead! Hazanku is selected

ESPN expert Tim Bontemps announced the NBA best team he voted for, which is very reasonable!

NBA first team

#Shay Gilgers Alexander#Oklahoma City Thunder

Nicol Jokic, Denver Nuggets

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Jason Tatum, Boston Celtics

Jaren Brunson, New York Knicks

NBA second team

Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers

Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)

Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers

Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves

LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers

NBA third-ranked team

James Harden, Los Angeles Clippers

Cad Cunningham, Detroit Pistons

Carl-Anthony Towns(New York Knicks)

Jaylen Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder Halliburton, Pacers experts also explain why we have chosen this way, and we spent a lot of time talking about Mobley, who, as the best defensive player, has made him an easy choice to go alongside Michelle. In fact, we talk about LeBron, as the oldest player in the league, and Stephen Curry, as one of the 13 players over 37 years old in the league, as the top 10 players in their mid-career period, which is amazing.

After some consideration, the last second team position was given to Edwards, who led the team to eliminate the Lakers and Warriors in two rounds of 4-1 this year's playoffs. As a three-pointer, his significant improvement—he made 320 three-pointers and shot over 39%—it could be a decisive development as his young career progresses.

If there is any question about whether Harden should be selected for the NBA All-Squad this season, his performance last Monday—13-for-13 shots, scored 39 points and 10 assists, including 12 points for the Los Angeles Clippers in an overtime finale against the Golden State Warriors—showing how important he is to the Clippers. Cunningham’s breakthrough season in Detroit made him easy to be selected, and Tatum’s first season with the Knicks and Williams’s performance with the league-leading Thunder also made him easy to be selected.

The last place is left, and I compared four players: Halliburton, Jackson, Zubac and Darius Garland. The latter two players had excellent seasons, but the choice ultimately came down to Halliburton and Jackson. The Pacers started slowly, catching up in the second half and led the team into the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs; while Memphis was the opposite.
