Dereck Lively II Claims Bias Against Mavericks Following All-Rookie First-team Snub
Dereck Lively II: The NBA All-Rookie teams have been announced and while the selections of generational talents Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren to the first team were no surprise, Dallas Mavericks' Dereck Lively II's placement on the second team has left some confused.
Expected to be a lock for the top tier based on his impact on Dallas, Lively took to Instagram to express his disappointment. He re-shared the announcement, hinting at the league's bias against the Mavericks with the caption, "They really don't mess with the Mavs."
Lively’s comments may stem from the fact that Dallas teammate Luka Doncic had a stellar season averaging 33.9 pts, 9.2 reb, 9.8 ast through the course of the season but finished third in the Most Valuable Player of the season rankings.
