Why radio presenter refused to put Victor Wembanyama on his All-NBA First Team
Justin Termine, a SiriusXM Radio presenter, did not include Victor Wembanyama on his All-NBA First Team ballot despite Wembanyama's impressive season. Termine justified his decision by arguing it was unfair to past great centers who were not recognized simultaneously. This reasoning sparked criticism from fans who felt it contradicted the NBA's current position-less voting rules.
- ▪Victor Wembanyama finished third in the MVP race and became the first unanimous DPOY in NBA history.
- ▪Justin Termine was the only voter to leave Wembanyama off the First Team All-NBA.
- ▪Termine's reasoning focused on historical fairness for past centers like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.
