The NBA officially revealed the All-NBA teams on Wednesday afternoon, and the Phoenix Suns were well represented on two of the three teams. The teams were largely the names that were expected - save for perhaps Sacramento Kings C Domantas Sabonis. Kevin Durant officially is enjoying the 11th selection of his career, while Devin Booker was chosen to his second - after being first team in 2022. It's almost inconceivable to believe that a player approaching 40 years of age can still be so dominant, but James continues to buck trends and suspend disbelief.
Few teams can match the size of the Minnesota Timberwolves with their trio of towers in NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, four-time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns and Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid. The revamped Dallas Mavericks showed they might just be able to stand tall against Minnesota. Dereck Lively II, the 7-foot-1 rookie Dallas acquired on draft night after he was selected 12th overall, and 6-10 Daniel Gafford, who was a trade-deadline pickup in February, had a sizeable impact around the rim Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, a 108-105 victory for the Mavericks.
The Minnesota Timberwolves fanbase is charged up after seeing its team reach its first Conference Finals in 20 years. In fact, the entire basketball world is interested in the Wolves' rise, as their Game 7 second-round bout against the Denver Nuggets drew record TV ratings. Golden State forward and guest TNT analyst Draymond Green has found a way to include himself in the drama, as usual. Minnesota fans booed Green during TNT's pregame show Wednesday, most likely due to his constant belittling of their team throughout the last couple of weeks.
