Celtic captain Paul Pierce was named a member of the All-NBA second team in a vote of sportswriters and broadcasters released today.

The first team included center Dwight Howard (Orlando), forwards LeBron James (Cleveland) and Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas), and guards Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers) and Dwyane Wade (Miami). James, the league's most valuable player, was named first team on all 122 ballots.
Pierce, who was named to the third team in 2002, '03, and last year, received 27 first-team votes. The Celtics' Kevin Garnett, a first-team choice last year, was 17th in the balloting. Celtic guards Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo also received votes.
