First-timer to join Antetokoumpo in All-NBA’s top team

Star Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will head up the All-NBA first team again, earning top honours for the seventh consecutive year.

There were four repeat performers and one first-timer named in the 2024-25 All-NBA First Team on Friday.

Antetokounmpo will be joined by Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver Nuggets centre Nikola Jokic and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, along with first-time honoree guard Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Gilgeous-Alexander, named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player earlier this week, earned his third consecutive first-team accolade, while Jokic captured his second in a row.

Tatum was named for the fourth consecutive year, those four players named on all 100 ballots from a global media panel.

Mitchell earned second-team honours in the 2022-23 season.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley earned All-NBA Second Team honours.

James extended his NBA record for most selections to 21, matching his number of seasons played dating back to 2004-05. Curry captured his 11th All-NBA Team accolade.

Brunson and Edwards have now earned back-to-back second-team honours, while Mobley, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, makes his debut.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden, Knicks centre Karl-Anthony Towns and Thunder guard-forward Jalen Williams comprised the All-NBA Third Team.

Harden now has eight selections in his career, but was picked for the first time since the 2019-20 season. Towns has earned third-team honours on three occasions, while Haliburton earned his second in a row. Cunningham and Williams are first-time recipients.

The media voting panel made their selections without regard to position. Players earned five points for each vote to the First Team, three points for Second Team votes and one point for every Third Team vote.
