Even Isaiah Thomas can’t believe he got an NBA All-Defense vote

When the NBA All-Defense votes came out, there were some big surprises. Perhaps the biggest surprise of them all was that Isaiah Thomas received one of those votes.

It was so shocking that even Isaiah Thomas couldn’t believe he got a vote.

One of the things we could count on this past season is that Thomas was going to get burned by opposing guards. He really was one of the worst perimeter defenders in the Association. No, seriously. He ranked second-to-last in defensive real plus-minus differential in the NBA last year.

Yet someone gave him a vote.

So, who was that someone?

A quick scan of the NBA’s official media ballot reveals it was Marcelo G. Nogueira from the newspaper Olé.

Maybe he just doesn’t watch many games? Who knows, but one thing we do know for certain is that Thomas, in no way, shape or form, should have gotten even a single vote.

And you won’t hear any argument from him about that fact.
