The Spurs didn’t get any love from the media and voters when it came to the All-NBA and All-Defense teams, where between the two, Dejounte Murray was the only Spur to receive votes of any kind, with a whopping one vote for 1st Team All-Defense and three for 2nd Team All-Defense, placing him at a distant 11th among guards in votes received. As someone who is not afraid to express his feelings, he let us all know what he thought:
While ultimately the players that did make the teams were deserving, and it’s not too uncommon for teams with losing records to get overlooked (unless they have Steph Curry), there’s no denying that it’s a bit of a popularity contest, and sometimes standings and media attention can override stats and individual performance.
