Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was, of course, included in the All-NBA first team for 2023-24. The league made the announcement on Wednesday night, which had the Bucks faithful singing the praises of the two-time NBA MVP.

Damian Lillard, however, was not even in contention for any of the three All-NBA teams. The 33-year-old, who was named an All-Star for the eighth time in his career this past season, did not even get a single vote for the All-NBA squad.

Milwaukee Bucks News: Damian Lillard Gets Zero Votes for All-NBA Team

Along with the announcement of the three All-NBA teams for 2023-24, the league also released the final vote tally. Superstars such as Jaylen Brown, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Rudy Gobert, and Victor Wembanyama, to name a few, were some of the names that missed out on an All-NBA nod.

As it turns out, however, not even a single voter believed that Lillard deserved a place in the All-NBA squads:

You have to note that Lillard has been a member of the All-NBA team in five out of the last six seasons. The only time he missed out on the honor was during the 2021-22 campaign when he played just 29 games for the Portland Trail Blazers due to a major injury.

The fact that Lillard was completely snubbed this year speaks volumes of the type of season he had in his debut campaign in Milwaukee — at least in the view of the voters.
