Fans Slam NBA Media, Dish Out Kenny Smith For Picking THIS NBA All-Star Over Luka Doncic
Kenny Smith sparks controversy by favoring Wolves star over Luka Doncic for NBA All-NBA First Team, igniting fervent debate among fans and analysts alike.
The current basketball regime is full of debates. From fans to analysts, the community is gearing up for the latest debate as the First Team All-NBA has now arrived.
Amidst this, the former two-time NBA champion and current basketball commentator Kenny Smith put out his words on the First Team All-NBA and made his pick. Contrary to his own views, Smith put Anthony Edwards over Luka Doncic for the team, and NBA fans couldn’t hold on to that.
On his appearance for the NBA on TNT, when Charles Barkley asked Smith to pick his guard for the First Team, he said, “If I had to go two – Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.”
However, his opinion did not go down well with the audience. As soon as the short clip surfaced online, fans expressed their disgust with the take and dropped several comments, criticizing Kenny Smith for giving Anthony Edwards preference over Doncic.
An unhappy fan wrote, “NBA media s**ks so bad."
While other fans wrote, "Lmaooo these guys vote on awards." Here's how others reacted to the clip.
Where does Doncic stand against Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?
Luka Doncic, the exceptional point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, has undeniably established himself as a formidable force in the NBA, showcasing his extraordinary talent and versatility on the court.
Doncic's impressive performance this season, averaging a remarkable 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game, firmly cements his position as an All-NBA-caliber player.
Notably, his invaluable contributions to the Mavericks, leading them to a 50-win season and upholding a top-five defense in the league over the last 18 games, further exemplify his impact on the team's success.
While Doncic's personal achievements and leadership continue to shine, his contention for an All-NBA First Team spot has sparked substantial debate, particularly due to the considerable success of other noteworthy players.
In contrast, Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder have also emerged as formidable competitors for All-NBA honors. Edwards' standout performances, combined with the Timberwolves' ascent to the second-best record in the West, have positioned him as a strong candidate for the All-NBA First Team.
