Add Portland Trail Blazers backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum to the endless list of NBA talent that thinks Boston Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley should have made the NBA's All-Defensive team.
Bradley was ways away from Second Team mention Danny Green of the San Antonio Spurs from making the cut at the off-guard position, garnering only 46 total voting points to Green's 68, also edging Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors by one point, despite getting four less First Team votes.
Someone need slapped … Avery Bradley ain't make one team ? 😂 fuxk outa heaaaa

Despite Bradley's slight frame at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, he's made up with unbelievable craft at the defensive end and attention to detail — proving to be a pest for every wing that comes his way on the perimeter or tries to get past him through screens.
The Texas standout had a career-year rebounding the ball, snatching 6.1 rebounds per game while getting 1.2 steals per outing.
Among the other guards making the cut were Chris Paul and Patrick Beverley on the First Team and Tony Allen as the other member of the Second Team All-Defense.
