All-Defensive Teams Announced: Who Made the Cut and Who Was Snubbed?

Jaden McDaniels, a forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves, was not selected for the NBA's All-Defensive teams despite being one of the league's most versatile and unique defenders. McDaniels led all wings in block rate, dropped opponents’ expected shooting at the rim by 7 percent, and spent the most time guarding All-Star players of any defender in the league. He finished a distant sixth among forwards, 41 points behind Toronto’s OG Anunoby, who was the last of four forwards to make the two teams. McDaniels took the snub in stride and plans to use it as motivation to improve his game in the offseason.

Giannis Antetokounmpo fed up with disrespect in the NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, former Defensive Player of the Year and five-time All-Defensive team member, expressed his frustration on Twitter after being left off the NBA's All-Defensive teams. He is using the perceived snub as motivation for next season. Antetokounmpo is also using the criticism of Milwaukee's first-round playoff exit as fuel, stating that there is no failure in sports and that the team will come back next year and try to be better. He has been in a similar position before and answered the questions emphatically with an all-time great Finals effort to lead the Bucks past the Phoenix Suns for the 2021 championship.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Fed Up with Lack of Respect in NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed his frustration on social media after not being voted to the NBA's all-defensive teams, saying "I'm tired of the disrespect. I'm coming." While he received 16 first-team votes and 28 second-team votes, it wasn't enough to crack either team. The Bucks had two first-teamers in Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez. Antetokounmpo had been a part of the first and second defensive teams every year but one since 2016-17. The Bucks were one of the best defensive teams in the NBA this season but struggled in the playoffs against the Miami Heat.
