Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert has been named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team for the fifth time in his illustrious career.
The league honored its top defenders at each position Monday, just days after Gobert was named the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year.
Also named to the All-Defensive First Team were:
• Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
• Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors
• Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee Bucks
• Ben Simmons, Philadelphia 76ers
Gobert first made an All-Defensive team in 2017 and has continued to hone his skills, improving in different ways each season.
