Jazz Players Snubbed from All Defensive Teams...

[silesian]

Can't agree that Favors was a snub. Not elite yet. But probably about as deserving than Jordan

But I'm outraged by Trey Burke's exclusion.

 

[Douchebag K]

I think i'd rather take the All 2nd team than the 1st that was named ..

 

[NUMBERICA]

They can have the all-defense team. Gobert will simply be regarded as one of the best defensive players in the history of basketball.

Obvious conclusion. Wait for it next season guys. If not, complain about it then.

Congrats to the 10
Best defensive players in the league

Translation: Enjoy those spots that you didn't deserve because I'm taking all ten of them for myself next year.

Gobert deserved it this year, so the complaints are justified. The guys voted in were homer picks, so it could very well happen again next year.

Anthony Davis not being on first team was biggest snub

Not really.

The voting on these teams is a joke. In the past when Marc Gasol and Tyson Chandler won DPOY they didn't make 1st team All Defense that year, so that shows how 'good' the voting is

That being said, I'm happy he didnt make any of the teams. Dude is pissed and is going to embarass other teams. I can't wait for it. Just scroll through his twitter account and you'll see all the fire that is building up.

 

[Siro]

Welp, if Gobert doesn't make any All-NBA team next year, we'll be able to extend him a bit cheaper.

 

[Stoked]

We know this bothers Gobert and is lighting that fire. I wonder if it is lighting a fire under any of the others.

Like Hood and Exum for not making the rookie teams. Or Snyder for losing COY.

The closest I see is tweets from Burke but they look sad instead of driven.

what??? draymond green is a better defender than Gobert???

Kawhi didn't impress me either, he couldn't guard CP3..

cp3 ?? what???? he can't even guard Cory Brewer or Tony Parker's backup, whatever his name is ....
