SGA, Jokic, Giannis highlight All-NBA teams
The three 2024-25 All-NBA teams were announced Friday.
Oklahoma City Thunder superstar and NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander highlighted the first squad alongside Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic.
All-NBA first team

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | Thunder | 3 |
Nikola Jokic | Nuggets | 7 |
Giannis Antetokounmpo | Bucks | 9 |
Jayson Tatum | Celtics | 5 |
Donovan Mitchell | Cavaliers | 2 |
Gilgeous-Alexander, Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum were all unanimous first-team selections. Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell received 61 first-team votes and appeared on all 100 ballots.
All-NBA second team

---|---|---|
Stephen Curry | Warriors | 11 |
Jalen Brunson | Knicks | 2 |
Anthony Edwards | Timberwolves | 2 |
LeBron James | Lakers | 21 |
Evan Mobley | Cavaliers | 1 |
LeBron James' second-team honor marks a league-record 21st consecutive All-NBA selection. At 40 years old, he beat his own record set last season as the oldest player in league history to make an All-NBA team. Evan Mobley got his first nod after winning Defensive Player of the Year. Stephen Curry's 11th nod is a Golden State Warriors record.
All-NBA third team
Player | Team | Career selections |
---|---|---|
Cade Cunningham | Pistons | 1 |
Tyrese Haliburton | Pacers | 2 |
James Harden | Clippers | 8 |
Karl-Anthony Towns | Knicks | 3 |
Jalen Williams | Thunder | 1 |
Cade Cunningham and Jalen Williams both broke through in 2024-25 and are awarded with their first All-NBA selections. Cunningham's selection means the Detroit Pistons will now owe him an extra $45 million over the next five years, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
The Thunder, Cavaliers, and New York Knicks are the only three teams with multiple players named to an All-NBA team this season.
Three players earned their first selection this season, while Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Haliburton were picked for a second time after getting their first nods in 2023-24.
