SGA, Jokic, Wembanyama, Doncic, Cunningham make 1st-team All-NBA - ESPN
Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's back-to-back MVP, and San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama, the first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year in league history, headlined the All-NBA teams announced prior to the two of them facing off in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Sunday.
They were joined on the first team by the three other players who finished in the top five in MVP voting: Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic and Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham.
It is the first All-NBA selection for Wembanyama, whose Spurs trail the Thunder 2-1 in the best-of-seven conference finals. Gilgeous-Alexander has been named to four straight All-NBA first teams.
The voting results for the All-NBA first-, second- and third-teams, which the league announced Sunday.
Wembanyama is the first Spurs player to make the first team since Kawhi Leonard in 2016-17. Jokic earned his sixth first-team nod (and eighth All-NBA selection overall). Doncic, who led the league in scoring for the second time with 33.5 points per game, was named to the All-NBA team for the sixth time in his eight-year career. It was the second All-NBA selection for Cunningham, after being named to the third team last season.
Both Doncic and Cunningham played 64 games during the regular season and were granted special exceptions to be eligible for All-NBA consideration after failing to reach the required 65-game threshold.
Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic, who finished 1-2 in the MVP race, were unanimous selections, with Wembanyama missing by one vote. Jokic now has twice as many All-NBA honors as any other player in Nuggets history.
The second team comprised Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, New York Knicks guard
