Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James should make All-NBA, but just barely
By Doug Patrick
LeBron should squeak into an All-NBA spot
I don’t blame anyone who takes Aldridge over LeBron for that last spot. In fact, when I originally sat down to come up with All-NBA teams, I had Aldridge in that slot. But James’s case was made for me upon seeing him leading some of the “locks” in categories, while Aldridge never did.
In reality, I can’t imagine actual All-NBA voters leaving LeBron off their lists, just based on his name alone. In writing this article, I had first set out to argue against James making a team. Now, my hope is to show just how close this race really is.
The last time King James was not on All-NBA was in 2004. The Pistons won the title that year, the number one song was “Yeah!” by Usher, and the TV show Friends completed its tenth and final season.

For right now, it looks like this streak should be safe – but just barely.
