He didn't even make the 2nd team. 10 guys ahead of him. I know it means absolutely nothing, but the media seems to have the biggest hate boner for DR. This just adds fuel to his fire.

That "Snitch Rat" incident really damaged Russell's reputation. I hope this motivates him to keep working harder |

Rooting for Russell more than ever now. You can bet he'll use this as motivation. I hope he makes it his personal mission to destroy all of the clowns who keep putting him down like this. |

To be fair they might have let him on the 2nd team if he had averaged 30 points a game. |

The narrative may be that he is viewed as a PG and didn't have a good AST/TO ratio for the position, but posting the same numbers being named a SG should have made him a MVP candidate. When you look at guys making it in front of him it becomes ridiculous, he was flat out offensively dominant except for the second half against Cavs when he cooled down.

One could also argue (very favorably) that Zubs should've been at least second team. |

I feel like both Nance and Zubac could have made that second team. |

They need another whipping boy. But hey if Dlo's got the stones (and the game) then I'm all for it. |
