Shin Kyung-sung became the best lineup! No one in the West was selected for the second place. The Hawks and Heat have had similar experiences

On May 24, the 2024-25 season's best team has been announced, and no one has been selected as the second in the West, which has caused heated discussion. Rockets center Shin Kyung scored 58 points in voting, 10 points away from Harden, who had the lowest score in the third-tier team in the best team.

Shen Jing has been listed as the number one leg of the best lineup this year by many media. After all, he is the core of the Western Conference's second-ranked regular season team and is also selected for the All-Star for the first time this season. Shin Jing played in 76 regular season games, averaging 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 49.6%. He scored 45 double-doubles and tied for seventh in the league.

Houston media said: As a team with 52 wins and 30 losses in the regular season and a fourth-ranked record in the league, no one in the Rockets was selected into the Best Team this season, which is really unacceptable. This once again proves that the best team selection is just a popular competition - Shin Kyung should have won this honor, but was deprived of it.

In NBA history, there have been precedents for teams with excellent records that no players are selected for the best team -

For example, in the 2021-22 season, the Heat scored 53 wins and 29 losses, but no players were selected for the best team. In the voting that year, Butler scored 32 points and Adebayo scored 28 points, ranking second and third among the undrafted players respectively.

For example, in the 2014-15 season, the Hawks scored 60 wins and 22 losses, and were one of the representatives of team basketball. No players were selected into the best team. In the voting that year, Millsap scored 70 points and Horford scored 64 points, ranking second and third among the players who were out of the box.
