The NBA released its All-NBA teams on Wednesday, an annual tradition of honoring the top players from the season. But as much as the day is about applauding great performances, it’s also about tracking the reactions from players who felt snubbed by being left off the illustrious lists.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant could likely be considered among the aggrieved.
Morant did not end up making any of the three All-NBA teams after earning a second-team selection last year. He was the top vote-getter among guards who missed the cut, with 10 second-team votes and 14 third-team votes. Morant’s 44 points fell well short of Damian Lillard’s 137, which represented the fewest among the third-team guards.
