This is Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company coming at your Thursday morning.

It's May 11th.

I'm joined by Britt Robinson from Mimpost again this Thursday. And the plan today is to hit on a few different things. I wanted

to talk with Britt about the awards that came out this week, all defense, all MBA. I get for its

perspective on Jaden McDaniels not making the team. Also talk just MBA a little bit more broadly.

And then we still have all eight teams in the second round of the playoffs. No one has been eliminated as we record this on Thursday morning.

So we'll talk about where the series are at.

Britt, as I mentioned to you, right before we hit recording this.

I want to focus on Denver a little bit.

I think there's some wolves slash broader MBA overlap there, of course, with the Conley angle.

So we're getting into that too. Also, Lakers, Warriors, Heat Knicks, Sixers, Celtics.

But let's start with all defense.

Jaden McDaniels did not make either of the teams.

These are the 10 players who did.

Brooke Lopez, Jaron Jackson, Jr., Evan Mobley, Alex Caruso, Drew Holiday.

That's first team. And then second team is Bam, Drew Holliday, that's first team.

And then second team is Bamadabio, Draymond Green, O.G. Annanobie, Derek White, and Dylan Brooks.

What was your reaction to these being the all-defensive teams from, I guess, a broader perspective, but also just from, were you surprised that Jaden McDaniels did not make an all-defensive team?

No, I wasn't surprised.

I think that the wolves remain a footnote in the greater NBA story.

I think that Jaden is better to the eye test, perhaps, than he is to the stat sheet,

although individual stats obviously favor him, team stats.
