Right on Gobert!!

Now to take home the DPOY and MIP!

Also, Beverly (rumored PG trade target of the Jazz) made 1st team D as well. That would be fantastic...

This honor increases his caphold from 21.4 to 21.9... for the cap nerds around here.

Still can't believe he wasn't a unanimous first team. KAT, Whiteside, Jordan, and Howard, each got one first team vote.

KAT? SERIOUSLY? KAT got all defense vote? WOW! Whoever voted KAT should be deprived of a vote next year.

You know the guy that voted KAT first team all D is going to be the one that's going to screw Rudy in the DPOY... :facepalm:

 

[Jazz and Utes]

The chip on his shoulder is gonna next level when Crymond wins DPOY.

There are some troll votes in there: Damian Lillard and Isaiah Thomas,

Also this increased Gobert's cap hold for next season by 1/2 million. It might come down to nickels and dimes lol.

IMO those should be banned from covering the NBA. Take their credentials...

Someone voted KAT first team over Gobert lol

Well deserved!!! Trivia question - who else from the Jazz was named to NBA All-defensive First team before? Hint - some major snub there, some people who do not know will be pissed.

Coleman, Malone, Eaton and AK47. Gobert is the 5th Jazzman all time to make it.

...but I thought players in Utah couldn't receive enough national recognition to win awards.

John Stockton holds the all time steals record in the NBA but never made the team. Bet he would have in NYC or LA.
