Jackass Keeps Nerlens Noel off All-Rookie Ballot Because He’s a Jackass

Yesterday is was announced that Nerlens Noel, who finished third in Rookie of the Year voting, was named to the All-Rookie first team. Somehow, five members of the media still didn’t put Noel on their first-team. Three morons left Noel off of their lineups altogether. One of those idiots is the voice of the Atlanta Hawks, Steve Holman. As you can see above, he said he left Noel off of his ballot because “record.” So let’s look at who made his two All-Rookie teams:
Wiggins, Andrew — MIN
Clarkson, Jordan — LAL
Bogdanovic, Bojan — BRK
Mirotic, Nikola — CHI
Payton, Elfrid — ORL
Exum, Dante — UTA
Galloway, Langston — NY
LaVine, Zach — MIN
McDaniels, K.J. — HOU
Warren, T.J. — PHO
Yes, he put K.J. on the list but not Nerlens. Those two guys in bold, Wiggins and Galloway, play for teams who ended up with worse records than Noel and the Sixers. There’s only one explanation: Steve Holman can’t read.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
