NBA Unveils 2024-25 All-Defensive First Team — Draymond Green And Lu Dort Headline Star-Studded List
The NBA has officially revealed the 2024–25 All-Defensive Teams, and the First Team is headlined by two familiar names in Draymond Green and Lu Dort, both recognized for their relentless commitment to defensive excellence. This year's selections reflect a blend of battle-tested veterans and breakout stars, as the league continues to value defensive versatility, intensity, and consistency. Advertisement The 2024-25 NBA All-Defensive First Team - Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) - Evan Mobley (Cleveland Cavaliers) - Lu Dort (Oklahoma City Thunder) - Dyson Daniels (Atlanta Hawks) - Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green made his ninth All-Defensive Team, a significant feat considering he was left off last year's list. Green averaged 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game. More importantly, he served as the defensive heart of a resurgent Warriors squad that turned things around after acquiring Jimmy Butler midseason. Green's communication, IQ, and ability to anchor defensive possessions were pivotal in stabilizing Golden State after a shaky start. Advertisement Oklahoma City Thunder guard Lu Dort finally earned his long-overdue first All-Defensive selection. Known across the league as one of the fiercest perimeter stoppers, Dort averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.1 steals while leading the NBA's top-rated defense. The Thunder finished with the league's best record and suffocated opponents all season long, with Dort often drawing the assignment of guarding the opposing team's best scorer. His toughness and lateral quickness played a major role in OKC's rise to contender status. Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels had a breakout campaign, winning the Most Improved Player award and leading the league in steals at 3.0 per game. In his first All-Defensive Team selection, Daniels averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and brought a disruptive presence every night. Whether jumping passing lanes or applying full-court pressure, his energy was infectious and helped reshape Atlanta's defensive identity. Advertisement Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley of the Cleveland Cavaliers rightfully earned his spot after anchoring one of the league's stingiest interior defenses. Mobley averaged 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.6 blocks. While his scoring made strides, it was his rim protection, defensive rotations, and versatility in guarding bigs and wings alike that elevated his profile. This marks Mobley's second career All-Defensive selection, solidifying his place among the NBA's elite defenders. Rounding out the First Team is Houston Rockets sophomore Amen Thompson, who showcased his rare blend of size, athleticism, and instinct. Averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game, Thompson guarded multiple positions and routinely impacted games with his anticipation and closeouts. His development into a defensive star is a major reason Houston climbed into the postseason picture. Second Team Showcases Depth And Rising Defensive Stars The 2024–25 All-Defensive Second Team also featured notable talents who were instrumental in anchoring their teams defensively, with a mix of new faces and established forces. Advertisement The 2024-25 Kia NBA All-Defensive Second Team: - Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves) - Jaren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies) - Toumani Camara (Portland Trail Blazers) - Jalen Williams (Oklahoma City Thunder) - Ivica Zubac (Los Angeles Clippers) Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara made a splash in his rookie year, earning his first All-Defensive honor. Camara averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Despite playing for a rebuilding team, his energy, lateral quickness, and defensive instincts stood out across the league. Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert added an eighth All-Defensive selection to his résumé, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest rim protectors of his generation. Gobert averaged 12.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks, continuing to anchor Minnesota's interior defense with consistency and strength. Advertisement Jaren Jackson Jr. of the Memphis Grizzlies also earned his third career All-Defensive nod. The former DPOY posted 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 blocks. Even in a year where Memphis battled injuries and inconsistency, Jackson remained a disruptive force in the paint and on switches. Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder joined teammate Lu Dort with his first career All-Defensive honor. Williams, often tasked with guarding elite wings and ball-handlers, delivered 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. His size, activity, and anticipation added another layer of versatility to the Thunder's defensive dominance. Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac earned his first career All-Defensive selection after anchoring the Clippers through an injury-riddled season. He averaged 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game, showcasing improved footwork and pick-and-roll coverage while consistently patrolling the paint. Defense Remains The Foundation Of Greatness In an era where offensive firepower often dominates the spotlight, the 2024–25 All-Defensive Teams shine a light on the grit, discipline, and intensity required to thrive on the other end. Advertisement From the battle-tested Draymond Green to new-age stoppers like Amen Thompson and Jalen Williams, this year's selections underscore the league's growing appreciation for two-way impact. These defenders aren't just specialists, they're tone-setters, communicators, and elite problem solvers who influence the outcome of games with each possession. Their inclusion is not only a testament to their individual excellence but also a reflection of how modern NBA success is still deeply rooted in defensive identity.

LeBron James Gets Real On What Makes The Thunder So Dangerous
LeBron James Gets Real On What Makes The Thunder So Dangerous originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Ahead of Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals, LeBron James opened up on what makes the reigning Western Conference champs such a challenge to defeat. In a segment on the 'Mind the Game' podcast, James gave a detailed scouting report of OKC, detailing their key strengths as a unit. Advertisement "They have the ability to play two bigs, two mobile bigs," said James. "Then they have the ability to go small and play smaller with a lineup that's just super fast, super agitating, super quick. Rudy Gobert, as big as he is, Nikola Jokic, as big as he is, they [the Thunder] get offensive rebounds and it's like a swarm. You see guys jumping on their backs, guys coming up from underneath and stripping the ball. Once they get a strip and they're off to the races, that's their game. You turn the ball over versus OKC and it's going to be a layup or a dunk. They don't fear size. They have them dogs, they have them athletic guys, and then they have the intelligence." LeBron saw the Thunder up close during three regular-season matchups this season. OKC won two of the three, including a 16-point win at home on April 8. Against the Thunder, James averaged 19.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, a clear indication that their defense had him figured out. Despite their youth and inexperience, the Thunder secured the top seed in the West with the league's best record (68-14), and now they are on track to win their first NBA championship in franchise history. With series wins over the Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Timberwolves, the Thunder have one last obstacle to endure before they achieve ultimate success. While the Pacers will no doubt provide a major challenge, the Thunder are well-equipped to handle the pressure, and LeBron James himself has been impressed with their growth. On the court, the Thunder have developed their chemistry to work seamlessly together, and every player gives their maximum effort on both ends of the floor. Advertisement Between the length and skill of Chet Holmgren, the leadership of Shai, and the depth provided by Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso, and others, the Thunder are easily the deepest team in the league, and they play with an air of confidence that demands they be taken seriously. The versatility of their roster allows the Thunder to adapt to any situation and tweak their rotation for every matchup. In the playoffs this year, we've seen their versatility in full display with dominance in just about every category on the court. For the Thunder, it's all led up to this moment: a chance to win the NBA Finals and bring home a championship. With history at stake, these next few games will be crucial for the Thunder and may determine their course of action in the coming offseason. With talks about a potential trade for Kevin Durant, things are bound to get interesting in Oklahoma City this summer, but they don't need any major moves to continue their current trajectory. With their core still young and yet to hit their prime, the Thunder dynasty is only just beginning, and LeBron James knows what they've built is special.
