Lu Dort should have got Jrue's slot on 2nd team. Jrue's defense kind of fell off this season. Not the same guy he was in Milwaukee. But he's a legacy guy with a reputation.

[90sgoat]

Did they do away with positions? That's pretty dumb.

[ImKobe]

Lets goo AD! Deserved.

[FultzNationRISE]

Ummmmm.


Where the FVCK is Lebron??

That would make a gangster out of anybody. :lol

Dane Moore: Rudy Gobert on Jaden McDaniels making his first All-Defensive team of his career: “That was the most important for me, just to see him get his first all-defensive team. He wants to be on the first team, and I think think he’s a top five defender in this league, but it’s good to get your first one. And now he gets to show the world who he is every night on the biggest stage. So I’m really proud of him, the work that he puts in, the growth, the maturity that he’s shown throughout the year and especially now in the playoffs. We definitely wouldn’t be here without him.

selfless leader :cheers:

[fsvr54]

White over Dort? Caruso over Dort?

[FultzNationRISE]

White over Jrue is weird

They made the same team bro.


Also, ball hawks tend to get more clout in the regular season. Dort is more of a shutdown guy whose value is assignments in the postseason.

Herb is an old school name. Dude probably named after his great grandfather or something.

Going to be nearly impossible to make 1st team as a wing going forward.

[Mask the Embiid]

wait kat's not on there? or naz reid?

[90sgoat]

Going to be nearly impossible to make 1st team as a wing going forward.

It's stupid as ****.

It's not a "first team" if it isn't based on being a team. It's just "top 5 award" then.

Most teams still run a traditional 2 guard, 2 forward, 1 center starting lineup don't they?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Hopefully Jaylen Brown is pissed. I would love to see him take it to Pascal Siakam the same way he did in the Bubble.

Everyone black over the age of 40 remembers a guy who may or may not have been married to his great aunt who was named Herb.

No positions for any all nba teams.

Yea but it's got a different vibe to it today. Basically slang for nerd. It's like how gay used to mean happy ~ 100 years ago.

[Kblaze8855]

I don’t know. I think herb itself might be outdated as an insult. Strictly 40+ isn’t it? Gobb bought me a Herb Williams Knicks jersey instead of paying me for a bet he lost in like 2007. Sent it right to the house. I got the joke but nobody around me did. They were just shocked I’d order a Knicks jersey.

On a sidenote: what is Gobb doing these days? Do you know?

said this last year but denver could've drafted herbert jones instead of bones hyland

and they could've traded for caruso

both would improve their bench and they could use a 7 man rotation in the playoffs
