NBA announces All-Defensive Teams

[Strenuus]

Aminu shut down Paul George when he had been on fire for weeks. But nevermind Aminu. Why didn't Meyers Leonard receive any votes? He shut down Cousins and Gasol.

Because word got around about his nickname, Meyers Leonar_

They liked it.

The All D teams have been pretty nice the last few years, no more legacy type votes. We wont see another Kobe situation where he gets on the All D team for several years based solely on name value.
Just realized this could easily be taken the wrong way on Kobe. Its not that he still wasn't a good defender from about 10-12 but it was that he was no longer a lockdown defender the entire game, instead he had to pick and chose his spots and played D like he did in 03 only at the very end of games and select spots throughout, he definitely saved his energy mostly for offense.

This voting is flawed. Batum getting 2 votes shows how few of the voters have even seen enough to appreciate his defense.
Another example: Lma getting more votes than Rolo

Lmao Curry has more votes than guys like Marcus Smart, John Wall, and Mike Conley

Curry led the league in steals. That's usually good for a vote or three.

I think Rudy Gobert has more grounds for complaint about Paul George. Arbitrary rules about positions trump more first team AND more total votes.

Please go back to fucking who, or whatever ever it is you were fucking, so we can hear all about it in another thread.

Not surprising. Gobert is French, so he gave up easily in the fight for something
