Steve Dykes-US PRESSWIRE

Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge was not named to one of the three 2012-13 All-NBA Teams but he was listed in the "other players receiving votes" category, where he was joined by Blazers F/C J.J. Hickson.

The All-NBA teams are voted on by a media panel and take positions into account, with each team made up of two guards, two forwards and a center.

Aldridge was beaten out by First Team forwards LeBron James (Miami Heat) and Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder), Second Team forwards Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks) and Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers) and Third Team forwards David Lee (Golden State Warriors) and Paul George (Indiana Pacers). All six players represented 2013 playoff teams. Indeed, all 15 All-NBA selections came from players whose teams made the postseason.

Aldridge was an All-NBA Third Team selection in 2010-11. He finished first among forwards in the "others receiving votes category" this year just as he did in 2011-12.

Hickson received one Third Team vote.

Former Blazers guard Raymond Felton, now with the New York Knicks, received three Third Team votes.

Here's how the full voting results broke down. Five points for First Team vote, three points for Second Team vote, one point for Third Team vote.
