Renz: Kyrie Irving and Oladipo are gonna be tough to leave off at the East guard spots. LeBron is my MVP, always and forever. Giannis is undeniably on this list. The last frontcourt spot is a little tricky, but with the Celtics looking as good as they have I’m gonna go with Al Horford.

Over in the West, let’s go with James Harden and Steph Curry in the backcourt. Anthony Davis, Durant, and Boogie Cousins are in my frontcourt. Boogie has the turnover issue plaguing him, but the rest of the numbers are wild, and we fans love our numbers.

East: In the West: Steph Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins. Kawhi Leonard didn’t play enough minutes and Draymond Green has been slightly worse than Davis. Everyone else is fairly easy.

In the East: Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid. This was pretty easy outside of shooting guard (Dipo vs DDR) but DeRozans recent surge and leaguewide popularity mean he will get the spot.
