One of the biggest stars who missed out on this past season’s All-NBA honors was Milwaukee Bucks All-Star point guard Damian Lillard. The 33-year-old had been named as a member of the All-NBA team in five out of the last six seasons, with his only omission coming during his 29-game injury-plagued campaign with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2021-22.
The fact that Lillard was snubbed from the All-NBA squad in his debut season with the Bucks is an undeniably noteworthy development — one that has garnered all sorts of reactions from the fans.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans Call Out Damian Lillard’s All-NBA Snub
The Bucks have themselves questioned the so-called experts’ decision not to include Lillard in this season’s All-NBA team. The Bucks took to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday to share their honest view on this glaring snub:

Naturally, more than a few fans jumped on the bandwagon to also express their disagreement with the decision as well as how they feel Lillard has been disrespected by all this:

Other Fans Believe Damian Lillard Did NOT Deserve All-NBA Honor
While a lot of fans aired their grievance on the Lillard snub, there were also those who firmly believe that the decision to leave him out of the All-NBA team this year is only right. Apparently, there are a host of supporters out there who think that Lillard’s overall play in 2023-24 is not deserving of a spot in any of the three All-NBA squads:
That usually happens when other people are better… ☠️

Maybe cause yall had the collapse of the century but we don’t talk about that

What did he do? Realistically he was horrible the first half of the season got better the end of the season then was defensive liability all season…
— FTGBandz ⬆️ (@tbvndz_) May 23, 2024
Didn't warrant one this year. He had his moments but at least 7 PG's averaged more points than he did and all of them had a better FG and 3 point shooting percentage as well.

Let’s be honest he turned it up after asb and still had his down moments just run ts up next szn but not 1 is crazy they voted him as a AS starter tho

In truth, there are actually more fans who agree with the snub than those who do not — at least in this particular X thread.
