NBA commissioner Adam Silver talked at the Finals Press Conference extensively and, among other things, also commented on the voting process for the All-NBA teams.
He admitted the discrepancy between different voting runs, especially the case of Joel Embiid being in the race for the MVP award but ending up in the All-NBA Second Team.
“In terms of determinations for All-NBA, I think a fair amount of consideration is going into whether [the media] should just be picking top players than be picking by position. I think we are a league that has moved increasingly toward position-less basketball, and the current system may result in some inequities based on the happenstance of what your position is,” Silver said and added.
“So that is something we’re looking at. It’s something that we will discuss with the players association because it has an impact on incentives and players contracts, and it has, you know, deep meaning for their legacy as well. So we will look at those things.”
