LOOK: Several NBA players take exception to NBA All-Defensive teams on Twitter
John Wall and Isaiah Thomas were among the most vocal about their displeasure of the awards.
Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley was among the handful of NBA players acknowledging fans who sent out congratulatory tweets to him in regards to his All-NBA honor as a First-Team All-Defensive selection, but not everyone was happy about the All-NBA squads that were announced on Monday.
Shortly after the results were made public, John Wall, along with other NBA players, expressed their dissatisfaction either because of a perceived snub or the snub of a teammate.
Here's Wall "lol'ing" about the First-Team All-Defense:

Isaiah Thomas? He surprisingly received a vote, but he's upset about his fellow teammate Avery Bradley being left off the All-NBA defensive team. As was CJ McCollum, Damian Lillard, Spencer Dinwiddie and Garrett Temple.
How the hell is Avery Bradley not on the all defensive team?? That's crazy!!

Although the players who earned their spot on the All-NBA teams were among the top vote-getters, there are players every year who feel as if they've been snubbed. As the saying goes, though: There's always next year.
