1987 23 YO Michael Jordan ROBBED of All-Defensive 2nd Team despite Historic 100/200?

1987 Alvin Robertson was picked All Defensive 1st Team.
1987 Dennis Johnson was picked All Defensive 1st Team.

Isnt Defensive History creating 100+ blks/200+ steals first ever enough for All-D

IMO, MJ should've had 10 All-Defensive FIRST team honors.

he was clearly robbed here not being a Laker or a Celtic.

33 YO Dennis Johnson with 1.1 blks and 0.4 stls was not better than 23 YO Jordan imo.

All defensive awards are pretty meaningless. The voters never relied on hard data or anything to quantify the best defenders. Also the all-defensive awards should pretty much be exclusively big men if we are actually considering the players with the most defensive impact. But guards were voted on because of the position requirement.

Lmao, who gives a fvck about an All-Defensive snub from almost 40 years ago. I think Jordan’s career turned out well enough you can let such a meaningless instance go.
