    Isiah receiving a vote is worse then Dame receiving a vote but Dame receiving a vote is mind boggling to begin with.

    I can't believe Bradley didn't make a team.

    As I recall from a discussion we all had earlier in the year, Bradley's "defensive rating" was down this year. Which as also discussed was based on stats that have a few holes in it's calculations.

    I was listening to Ramona Shelburne on ESPN radio in LA yesterday explain why she voted for Danny Green and Tony Allen over Klay Thompson, and she freely admitted that she relied on analytics for her vote because she did not see every team on a nightly basis.

    And that is how a Avery Bradley is left off an all NBA Team. Like Dame said......."Smh they not watchin these games bro"

    Didn't Avery miss 25+ games as well?

    Yeah that is a good point. However she voted for Embid for Rookie of the year and he missed over 50.

    Yeah, but the difference is that there were no particularly qualified Rookie of the Year candidates--so it's someone who wasn't exceptional or someone exceptional who missed a lot of time. In the case of All-Defensive teams, there were other perfectly qualified candidates.

    So, essentially, Richard Walker is claiming Lillard is a far better defender than Leonard or Bradley.

    I wonder if people do this just to gain notoriety. Like, who'd know who Richard Walker was absent this stupidity.

    Lol. I apologize. I got confused, and thought this was in the OT area. Kinda too gross for that area anyways. My bad....
