Rudy Gobert Named to NBA All-Defensive First Team

[Saint Cy of JFC]

There are some troll votes in there: Damian Lillard and Isaiah Thomas,

Also this increased Gobert's cap hold for next season by 1/2 million. It might come down to nickels and dimes lol.

IMO those should be banned from covering the NBA. Take their credentials...

Well deserved!!! Trivia question - who else from the Jazz was named to NBA All-defensive First team before? Hint - some major snub there, some people who do not know will be pissed.

Coleman, Malone, Eaton and AK47. Gobert is the 5th Jazzman all time to make it.

...but I thought players in Utah couldn't receive enough national recognition to win awards.

John Stockton holds the all time steals record in the NBA but never made the team. Bet he would have in NYC or LA.

Utah's population has doubled since Stockton was drafted.

Maybe/maybe not. There's a good argument that Stockton didn't every really deserve all defensive first team--I kind of feel this way and I'm a huge Stockton fan. He gambled a lot on the passing lanes, often successfully, which is why he got a ton of steals. But he wasn't that great of a man on man defender.
