What Is Right AND Wrong With the All NBA Media Vote
All-NBA Team were recently announce, and Celtics star Jayson Tatum did not make the cut, resulting in him to miss out on $25 Million. The winners are selected by a global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters. Players were awarded five points for each vote to the All-NBA First Team, three points for each vote to the Second Team and one point for each vote to the Third Team. Voters selected two guards, two forwards and one center for each team, choosing players at the position they play regularly. Players who received votes at multiple positions were slotted at the position where they received the most votes.
The results:
The 2020-21 All-NBA First Team include Guard: Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors): 98-2-0-496,
Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks): 55-41-4-402, Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks): 100-0-0-500, Kawhi Leonard (L.A. Clippers): 28-58-9-323, Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets): 99-1-0-498
Second Team consists of Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (372 points), Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (352), Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (311), New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (253) and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (174).
Third Team is composed of Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (148 points), Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (131), Clippers forward Paul George (89), Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (71) and Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (61).
Is it fair for the media to have that much power on someone's pay? Is there any other group that is better fit to vote than the media. Celtics insider Steve Bulpett joins Celtics Beat hosts Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti provides an insight on the process of voting, share some stories, and tells why he stop voting for All-NBA.
