Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dallas guard Luka Doncic named to All-NBA first team

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dallas guard Luka Doncic highlighted the league's All-NBA team announced on Tuesday night.

Jokic, the 2021-22 NBA MVP, was not the leading vote getter for the team. That honor went to Antetokounmpo who received all 100 votes for the first team at one of the forward spots.

Jokic and Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid, who finished second in the MVP voting, split votes as the first-team center. Both players were eligible at forward, and some voters opted to put both players on the first team that way. Embiid made the second team at the center spot.

Antetokounmpo was the only unanimous selection and he becomes the first player over the last 50 years to be a unanimous selection to the All-NBA first team in four consecutive seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

Doncic picked up his third first-team nod prior to turning 24 becoming just the third player to do so joining Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan and Max Zaslofsky.

Joining Jokic, Antetokounmpo and Doncic on the first team were Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker. According to the league, it's the first time the first team is made up entirely of players 27 years or younger since 1954-55.

It was the first selection to the first team for both players and the first for Booker overall. Tatum made the All-NBA third team in 2019-20.

Tatum is the first Celtics player to make All-NBA 1st Team since Kevin Garnett in 2007-08 and the youngest Celtics player to make All-NBA 1st Team since Larry Bird in 1979-80. While Embiid had the second team center spot, the guard spots went to Golden State's Stephen Curry and Memphis' Ja Morant and the forward
