Gilgeous-Alexander, Jokic, Wembanyama, Doncic and Cunningham make first-team All-NBA
- On Sunday, the NBA announced the All-NBA first team, featuring unanimous selections Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets alongside Victor Wembanyama, Luka Doncic, and Cade Cunningham.
- Eligibility requirements shaped the selections, as the 65-game rule excluded stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo from consideration this year, ending Antetokounmpo's eight-year streak on every All-NBA ballot.
- League exceptions allowed Doncic and Cunningham to be selected despite playing only 64 games, while Wembanyama narrowly missed unanimous first-team selection by one vote with 498 points.
- Joining the second team are Jaylen Brown, Kevin Durant, Jalen Brunson, Kawhi Leonard, and Donovan Mitchell, with newcomers Tyrese Maxey, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Johnson on the third team.
- Beyond the All-NBA teams, the league honored MVP Gilgeous-Alexander, Defensive Player of the Year Wembanyama, Coach of the Year J.B. Bickerstaff, and Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg.
