Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokoumpo lead All-NBA picks

There were four repeat performers and one first-timer named to the 2024-25 Kia All-NBA First Team on Friday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo heads up the first team, earning top honors for the seventh consecutive year. He was joined by Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, along with first-time honoree guard Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Gilgeous-Alexander, named the NBA's Most Valuable Player earlier this week, earned his third consecutive first-team accolade, while Jokic captured his second in a row and Tatum was named for the fourth consecutive year. Those four players were named on all 100 ballots from a global media panel.

Mitchell earned second-team honors in the 2022-23 season.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley earned All-NBA Second Team honors.

James extended his NBA record for most selections to 21, matching his number of seasons played dating back to 2004-05. Curry captured his 11th All-NBA Team accolade.

Brunson and Edwards have now earned back-to-back second-team honors, while Mobley, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, made his debut.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden, Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns and Thunder guard-forward Jalen Williams comprised the All-NBA Third Team.

Harden now has eight selections in his career, but was picked for the first time since the 2019-20 season. Towns has earned third-team honors on three occasions and Haliburton earned his second in a row. Cunningham and Williams are first-time recipients.

The media voting panel made their selections without regard to position. Players earned five points for each vote to the First Team, three points for Second Team votes and one point for every Third Team vote.

The independent accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP tabulated the ballots.
