Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul and center DeAndre Jordan were honored by the NBA on Wednesday as the pair were named to the All-Defensive First team.

For CP3, it's the fifth consecutive time (and sixth overall) in which he's made the First Team. Jordan was also a member of the First Team last season.

DJ pulled down 792 defensive rebounds this season along with 177 blocks while Paul tallied 152 steals.

With Blake Griffin missing the majority of the 2015-16 season because of various injuries, the Clippers leaned on the other two of the Big 3 as they advanced to the first round of the NBA Playoffs before falling to Portland.
