Before the regular season MVP was announced, the 2004-2005 All-NBA Teams were revealed first.
The selections were hugely controversial.
But at the same time, it also spoke to just how fierce the competition was in this year's regular season.
The five players on the All-NBA First Team were: Steve Nash, Su Xi, Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O'Neal.
After Nowitzki and Steve Nash went their separate ways, they each had the best season of their respective careers. As a result, even scoring champion Allen Iverson didn't make the First Team, nor could any of the league's other small forwards secure a spot.
The All-NBA Second Team consisted of five players: Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, and Stadumier.
The debate over the Second Team was even greater.
