best Jordan to ever play basketball?
DeAndre Jordan selected to third straight All-NBA team
Looking back at the 2008 NBA Draft, you quickly realize how many teams missed on the potential of DeAndre Jordan, who was selected in the 2nd round (35th overall) by the Los Angeles Clippers. If that draft were done again today, Jordan would likely go somewhere in the top four alongside the likes of Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose and Kevin Love.
Jordan was extremely raw when he entered the draft, but the Clips obviously saw his upside. Fast forward nine years and that raw athlete out of Texas A&M is now a two-time member of the NBA All-Defensive First Team, the NBA's leading rebounder for the third season, the field goal percentage leader for the fifth straight season, a member of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team and, as of today, a three-time member of an All-NBA team.
Jordan was previously selected to the All-NBA First Team in 2016 and the Third Team in 2015. He also made his first All-Star team in 2017 and finished third in the Dunk Contest.
Let's celebrate by watching things that only DeAndre Jordan can do.
