While Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis is thought to be among the finest large males within the NBA, one journalist might need thought too extremely of the Lithuanian-American large man.
After the league launched the complete checklist of voter ballots for this season’s main awards, compiled by a worldwide panel of 99 sportswriters and broadcasters, one journalist’s slate stood out.
Spanish journalist Ignacio Garcia of Marca voted for Sabonis as a member of the All-NBA First Team, NBA All-Defensive First Team, third in Defensive Player of the Year, and fourth in MVP voting.
Marca, the Spanish outlet with which Garcia is affiliated, primarily produces soccer content material.
Other puzzling votes from Garcia included New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado and Miami Heat wing Jaime Jaquez Jr. as second and third placers for the Sixth Man of the Year, in addition to Milwaukee Bucks ahead Bobby Portis Jr. for the All-Defensive Second Team.

Many followers had been displeased with Ignacio Garcia’s uncommon voting choices, that are important within the league’s main awards.
As a Spanish, Ignacio García works at MARCA, which virtually solely talks about soccer in its newspaper. So he in all probability did not watch any NBA video games this yr and voted for Sabonis as a result of he performed in Spain and since he is aware of his father.
