Yep :pimp:

I'm glad jimmy wasn't snubbed.

Yeah did a fist pump seeing Jimmy's name in there. Taj to get more recognition next year.

Obviously Noah was going to be on there. Awesome to see Jimmy being recognized. Put him on any perimeter player in the league and he contains them and limits them as best as anyone else can. Period.
