Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo added another feather in his cap on Wednesday night after it was announced that he was part of the All-NBA first team. It was far from an anonymous vote, however, with more than a few members of the media believing that Antetokounmpo does not deserve a spot on the first team.
Stephen A. Smith and Kendrick Perkins are the biggest names on the non-Giannis believers list, along with nine other media personalities — the identities of whom have now all been revealed.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Giannis Antetokounmpo NOT Voted Into All-NBA First Team by 11 Voters

For transparency, the NBA released the entire vote tally for all three All-NBA teams on Thursday. This allowed the general public to determine who voted for who. In Giannis’ case, we now know exactly which voters did not consider the former back-to-back MVP worthy of a first-team spot (h/t Nathan Marzion of Behind the Bucks Pass):
It’s interesting to note that six out of the 11 voters listed are all employed by ESPN. I guess you can say that Antetokounmpo isn’t the most revered NBA superstar over there.
Richard Jefferson, a former Bucks player, also stands out among the voters who have doubts about Antetokounmpo being one of the five best players in the game today.
