The NBA announced the three All-NBA teams this past Wednesday which recognizes the most valuable and best players across different teams and positions in the league.
The First Team is made up of Los Angeles Lakers’ players LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Milwaukee Bucks’ and the reigning league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, and Houston Rockets’ forward James Harden.
This marks the 16th time that James has been named to the All-NBA team, setting a record as the player with the most selections in the history of the league. Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had 15 All-NBA nominations. James has also been named to the First Team 13 times.
Rockets’ Harden has been named to the First Team five straight times and Mavericks’ Doncic makes history as the first player to be named to the All-NBA in one of his first two seasons since Tim Duncan did in 1999.
Clippers’ star Kawhi Leonard, Nuggets’ center Nikola Jokic, Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard, Thunder guard Chris Paul, and Raptors’ Pascal Siakam make up the Second Team.
The third team consists of Boston’s Jayson Tatum, Miami’s Jimmy Butler, Utah center Rudy Gobert, Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons, and Houston’s Russell Westbrook.
