Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Oklahoma City and Nikola Jokic of Denver were unanimous first-team All-NBA selections this season, while San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama missed joining them in that club by one vote.

Wembanyama (99 first-team votes, one second-team vote) and Doncic (91 first-team, nine second-team) also appeared on all 100 ballots, as did Boston’s Jaylen Brown. But Brown had significantly fewer first-team nods than Cunningham, which is why the Pistons guard ended up on that top list.
