2006 IBN All-World First, Second and Third Teams

[rikhardur]

I am not trying to argue about whether he is a center or forward, I am aware that he plays both positions, however for the purpose of our vote we need to place him in one category or the other. In this case, we'll place him at forward which is what he plays the majority of the time, otherwise things can get messy when voting ends/naming the teams.

But he plays as a centre as well, it's not that uncommon, he's a forward-centre.

please only vote Tim Duncan as a power forward from now on, I won't be counting him in center votes! Those that voted him as center are entitled to add a center and pick which forward you want to take a vote from - rikhardur, turkishpower, and Czarkazem13

F: Carmelo Anthony
G: Juan Carlos Navarro
G: Jason Kidd

Third Team:
