As a diehard NBA and Denver Nuggets fan, I've come to recognize that so much of my enjoyment as a fan rides on the player contracts of the best players, and how they fit into the revenue streams of today's teams. One of the markers has long been selection to one of the three All-NBA teams as voted on by a panel of NBA writers and credentialed observers. In a way, they are voting for player salaries because All-NBA status could mean a Super Max contract, whereas being just outside that status could be a deflating loss of $100 million by some counts. 

Why are we in love with writers holding those cards? Why not let some objective numbers at least be a guard rail for often poor voting conceptualization. Especially now that it's 15 positionless slots, I think we could take a swipe at using existing, relatively standardized measures for player performance that fans could follow week-to-week, speculate on, who knows, maybe throw down a few beans on?

In this space you will find a season-long effort to chronicle and build an objective All-NBA ladder. Down the road, other NBA stats geekery will include informed GOAT debate. And advanced stats analysis of NBA Top Starters - the Top 75 players in the Association, by the numbers.
