Gobert, 33, was named to the All-NBA Defensive First Team for the eighth time in his career. That's tied for the second most in NBA history, only trailing five players who have been named to the All-Defensive First Team nine times.

Teams like the Celtics, Clippers, Lakers, and Hornets could all use a rim protector, but one team nobody is talking about is the Hawks. Well, nobody except for the guys from the "Chuck & Chernoff" show on Atlanta-based radio station 680 The Score.
