The NBA's Most Valuable Player, Joel Embiid, was named to the All-NBA First Team for the first time in his career as the NBA unveiled all three of its All-NBA teams Wednesday night, while LeBron James extended his all-time record to 19 All-NBA selections.
Embiid was joined on the All-NBA First Team by Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry headlines the All-NBA second team with his ninth selection. He was joined by Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler and Celtics forward Jaylen Brown.
James, who has now made an All-NBA team for 19 straight seasons, missing out only in his rookie year, led the All-NBA Third team selections, along with a pair of Sacramento Kings — center Domantas Sabonis and guard De'Aaron Fox — anchored the All-NBA Third Team, and were joined by Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard and New York Knicks forward Julius Randle.
