With Kendrick Perkins not voting Giannis for 1st Team All-NBA this year (Jalen Brunsom took his spot), this year ends the streak Giannis had for 5 years of being voted unanimously 1st Team All-NBA

1. It’s so aggravating how many voters are just narrative focused instead of watching the damn game. He has had one of the best seasons he’s ever had.

   Going “oh he got the 3rd seed instead of the 2nd so I’m not putting him first team” is some real Neanderthal thinking.

2. I was told Perkins hates white people because he didn’t vote Jokic for MVP. Does him not voting Giannis for 1st team means he hates black people? Or Greek people? Or Europeans? I think it’s the third option

3. If you use your All NBA vote to push narratives you can repeat on tv then you shouldn’t be allowed to have a vote. Perk has been trashing Giannis all year and it’s ridiculous that he gets to use an All NBA vote to back himself up.

4. Tatum and Brunson over Giannis lol

5. He’s still a lock for the spot, I’m really not losing sleep because it’s not unanimous. It’s shitty but not some big travesty, he still gets the award and it’s 100% deserved.

6. I dont care about unanimous, LeBron missed out on it in the past because of 1 voter doing stupid shit.

   But if Giannis isn’t 1st team ima legit riot.

   Dumbest people on earth.

7. Giannis literally had a historic season that has never been done in NBA history.

8. Dam…Perkins aint donne with the bad takes huh.

   Listen jsut because his team has had a dissapointing season doesnt mean Giannises was bad at all.

   Man put up historic numbers and is still the 2nd best player im the world and for some even the best.

   I dont understand this dissrespect.

9. Kendrick Perkins having a say in anything will never not be weird to me

10. Putting Brunson and Tatum ahead of Giannis is kinda dumb, but that’s not the dumbest part of his ballot.

    He had Maxey on his 2nd team, and even that isn’t the dumbest part of his ballot.

    The worst part was that has Banchero on his 3rd team.

11. Between the MVP race last year and now this, Perkins is single-handedly ruining awards

12. First time Giannis won’t be unanimous 1st team all-nba since 2018. Although that isn’t anything anybody really cares about or keeps track of.

13. On air media personalities should not have a vote for all-nba voting

14. Brunson has been incredible and deserves every accolade he gets. Watching him this season might be the most enjoyable player experience Knicks fans have had in the 21st century. Only thing comparable is 2012-13 Carmelo. Maybe STAT in his first season before his knees were liquidated or KP in the half year when he made the leap before his knees also got liquidated and all the bullshit happened after.

    With that being said, he’s not as good as Giannis, lol. He hasn’t been as good this season, either. Obviously there is the defense factor, which is incredibly one-sided, but Adetokunbo has been incredible for the ENTIRE season, while JALEN was just “very good” for some it. He’s been ridiculous since Randle went down against Miami and carried the team to the finish, but it wasn’t that way all year.

15. I want to pretend it’s something new for voters to have a gimmick, but it’s not. Unfortunately.

16. Take this man’s credentials

17. Perk needs his voting privileges removed seriously

18. Perkins isn’t ruining any awards, he is not the first voter to go outside the box and he certainly won’t be the last. There is about 100 voters and there’s always gonna be people who have odd picks that’s sports for you.

19. He voted for Jokic?

    What drug is he on?

20. Perkins & redick getting votes is insane

21. Giannis is averaging 30/11/6 and had one of the most efficient scoring seasons in the entire history of the NBA.

    To not have him on the 1st team is fucking egregious and is pure haterism.

    To use Dame’s underperformance and the front office’s fuck ups against him as justification is moronic and shameful.

    Without him, the Bucks wouldn’t even have 25 wins.

22. I think Jalen Brunson has an argument for first team. I dont think that argument is over Giannis.

23. Kendrick Perkins, Stephen A Smith, etc.
    letting these bozos vote on awards is disgusting

    should be primarily based on players and coaches imo

24. Kendrick Perkins has been a certified Giannis hater for years. I don’t give a shit what he thinks

25. Why does Perk have a vote again?

26. It’s time to reevaluate who should get a vote, Adam

27. Kendrik is a fucking moron.

28. Giannis’ best season? No way.

29. Brunson vs Tatum for first is far more debatable than Giannis vs Brunson. Giannis has been incredible all year and edges out the both of them.

30. Unreal bozo perk even gets a vote. Let’s just open it up to a fan vote as this point

31. The fact that Kendrick Perkins has a vote for anything award related is absolutely insane.

32. Of all people to take off 1st team to make room for Brunson Perkins picks Giannis lol.

33. In 20 years when some youngins try to discredit this generation they’ll say something like “they play against/with plumbers, yes like this Perk guy right here”

34. Why would he snub Giannis for first team all NBA? Is he stupid?

35. Perk is such a clown please get rid of this guy

36. Pretty on brand for Perkins to go 3 for 4 on easy layups.

37. Why does this guy get a vote on anything?

38. The homeless man’s Charles Barkley strikes again.

39. revoke this bums voting privileges

40. I’m not too surprised! This seems to be what the media and fans alike outside of Milwaukee wants. The heat given to the bucks over the last 2 to 3 seasons has been insane. I get it we’ve been inconsistent, but we still won at a pretty good clip yet we seem to be according to all fans and the media, the worst franchise that ever existed! Nothing would make a bucks fan more happy than to see us win a chip this year. The amount of shit talking that will commence if this were to happen will be absolutely epic. It’s crazy, you would think that all the power houses in the east have won multiple championships. The way they get praised in the bucks get trashed.

41. Always blow my mind people like him have a vote

42. Absolutely no hate to Giannis, love him and think he’s Incredible, but Brunson has pulled an epic carry job to get the Knicks the #2 seed. Hard to say he’s been better than Giannis but he pulled his team to a better record with very significant injuries all year and no Dame.
