Giannis Antetokounmpo Misses out in All-NBA First Team

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the top player for the Milwaukee Bucks, added another feather to his cap on Wednesday night when it was revealed that he was selected for the All-NBA first team.

The vote was far from anonymous, nevertheless, since many media people felt that Antetokounmpo wasn’t deserving of a starting position.

The most well-known figures on the list of non-Giannis believers are Stephen A. Smith and Kendrick Perkins, joined by nine other well-known figures from the media, all of whose identities have now been made public.

The NBA made the full voting totals for each of the three All-NBA teams public on Thursday in the interest of openness. This made it possible for the public to find out who cast what kind of vote.

According to Nathan Marzion of Behind the Bucks Pass, we now know precisely which voters did not think Giannis was deserving of a first-team selection in the case of the former back-to-back MVP:

It’s noteworthy to note that six of the eleven voters on the list work for ESPN. You could argue that Antetokounmpo isn’t the most adored NBA player in that country.

Among those who don’t think Antetokounmpo ranks among the top five players in the league right now is Richard Jefferson, a former player for the Bucks.
