Jaylen Brown says likability is to blame for not making All-NBA First Team

Jaylen Brown, who remained an MVP candidate pretty deep into the season, did not end up making the All-NBA Frist Team and has to settle for his second Second Team Selection of is career. Due to the NBA allowing Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham to be eligible despite not playing in the required 65 games, Brown's odds took a turn for the worse. Celtics fans were not happy with Brown being "snubbed" and Brown also expressed his frustration on Twitch:

"I'm not the most liked, fan or media. Sometimes I use my platform a little controversial, so I'm surprised I'm on any team, let alone first or second," Brown said. "I'm grateful, I'm grateful for everything. I'm not surprised about nothing. I'm grateful for everything. I know who I am. I get it. I'm surprised I win awards at all sometimes. I'm grateful, man. It's a blessing. Like I said, this season has been a journey, it's been great. It's been a blessing to be a part of the group I've been on, especially with the expectations they put on us. The expectation was to not even be a playoff team. We finished second in the East."
Brown finished sixth in voting:
