The reason Jaylen Brown didn't make an All NBA Team

[mdonnelly1989]

If we are being honest...

Not much really separates Devon Booker, Donavan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards and Jaylen Brown.

One of these guys has to miss an All NBA Team.

And Jaylen Brown was on a team where he did not get to shine with too much ball to move around.

Devon Booker most of the year only had KD to share the ball with. Donavan Mitchell is hands down the #1 option on the Cavs. And Ant pretty much only needs to share the ball with KAT.

Jaylen Brown had to share with Jayson Tatum, Jrue, Derrick White, Porzingis and a team that shares the ball. Jaylen Brown probably isn't going to get to really shine like the other guys. That's point blank why he missed out.

Not because he lacked talented compared to the other guys.

Jaylen Brown the most disrespected NBA player in the last 20 years.

Delete, I misread the thread

[WarriorGM]

Getting a token FMVP instead is just so disrespectful.

[One_and_Done]

The reason is the voters got it wrong. End of story.

Thank you for the insight, much appreciated.

My whole neighborhood here in Brazil was concerned about that as well. And I live in the downtown area, so it's a lot of people. Not some country area, mind you.

Just yesterday morning at 4am, when I was taking my good old dog for his routine pee, I saw my dear friend João da Silva (John Smith for you english-speaking fellows) across the street. He stopped me by and said that he sent his divorce papers to his lawyer a few days ago because his wife wouldn't let him sleep at night, she was quite sure Donovan Mitchell was the better player and was annoying the hell out of him. He couldn't stand it no more.

It's with gentlemen like you that our society moves forward. Have a great week and thank you once again, kind sir. Greetings and have a good one on my behalf.

Is this copypasta?

The whole Celtics starting 5 was asked to take a reduced role this season and they did so willingly for the benefit of the team.

Guys like Tatum and Brown could’ve easily put up higher counting stats like they’ve done in previous seasons. There was noise all year about how they weren’t as good as some of their peers because of this, but they stayed on track to hit their goal of winning a championship.

[Mr Puddles]

As a suns fan, it's ridiculous that we got two all nba players and that the Celtics only got one.

The Lakers finished one loss short of having twice as many losses as the Celtics, but had double the amount of all-nba players. At some point, record has to matter.

Brown should have replaced a Sun or Laker on the all nba team.

[DonaldSanders]

Reminds of 2017, both KD and Steph were 2nd team all-NBA. If the team has an embarrassment of riches, it's harder to shine at full brightness.

[RB34]

I love JB and he probably deserves a spot just because of the season he had (over Book).

Saying that, I don’t think it was a snub. If anyone watched the game today, the team clearly needs a few role players thrown in the mix.

DWhite is going to be huge for them.

[Chuck Everett]

I thought he deserved the spot over Booker, Lebron, Haliburton or Curry. I was actually kind of surprised he didn't receive a spot even though I felt like the difference between everyone was marginal last season. Quite a few players had excellent seasons. But I am almost 100% certain if Haliburton's contract wasn't tied to it, he would not have made all-NBA.

[benhillboy]

Jaylen had the worst regular season on/off of the entire Celtics roster in 23-24. The only rotation player worse last season was Pritchard.

Obviously he’s a good player. He's just not as good in his role as everyone else on that team, all super high IQ guys, something he’s never excelled at until the Finals arguably.

[76ciology]

And he’s not THAT good, if we’re being totally honest.

I think it's sarcasm/parody about how seriously people on this board take random, miniscule things like what player is better than who.

Brown is great and everyone in Boston loves him (we all have to say that to begin because he is uber sensitive) but if we are being totally honest he was rather inconsistent during the regular season and the ball tends to stick in his hands when hes in control of it. JB really shined in the postseason and was truly playing his best ball and deserved that fmvp as much as Tatum would have had it gone to him. Again, he is great and deserves every penny of that contract, and yes, hes a better all around player than D White, but maybe not as good a fit on that team USA roster.

[MikRay]

He really doesn’t know how to play without the ball in his hands

I completely get the Derek white choice over him

[wade44]

All nba is basically a crapshoot nowadays. It’s arguable he didn’t deserve all nba the season he got the super duper max but I’m sure he’s not complaining about it now

[benhillboy]

He historically has had issues defending off the ball too, again up until this past postseason, another reason why his on/off has been poor relative to teammates. I don’t think he would look nearly as bad as say Brandon Ingram did in international competition, but he should be glad he escaped an opportunity to look pedestrian or worse.

White can give you whatever you need at the moment outside of high level creation. He’s portable through all teams and levels of pro ball.

[chrisab123]

He should have made it over Booker. Suns were a mess all year and Brown is a better overall player.
