All NBA - Rudy = Yes; Spida = No

[LogGrad98]

Rudy on the 3rd team. Spida snubbed. Discuss.

All-NBA selections were announced Tuesday, with Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Steph Curry, Luka Doncic and Kawhi Leonard making the first team.

Happy for Rudy, very deserving. Donovan was deserving as well but the injury and missing around 20 games derailed his chances of making it in a league loaded with talented guards.

Donovan Mitchell played 1 less game than Paul George. Also, Lebron played 8 less games than Mitchell and still got a 2nd team award.

The best player on the team with the best record didn't even get put on the list. That is disrespectful.

Agreed. Aren't there significant financial ramifications because Donovan missed?

Can somebody tell us if there has ever been an overall #1 seed without a player on the 1st or 2nd team?

And has the leading scorer on the overall #1 seed not make an All NBA team?

Don played 1 less game than PG who made the All NBA 3rd team.

This is another sign by the NBA that established stars and bigger markets just matter more.

If the Clippers had the best record, PG would probably be on the 2nd or 3rd team.

Donovan should try playing defense like those dudes do.

Oh, the defense he is averaging 35 a game on?

Did Spida upset Adam Silver?

This. But it's all about marketing so Mitchell is left out being on probably the least marketable team in the league.

Honestly, I’m kind of glad DM didn’t make it as it frees up cap room to address players around him.

 

[NUMBERICA]

It's objectively good for the Jazz that Donovan didn't make it, unfortunately. The cap picture is a nightmare.
