LeBron James has added to his record number of All-NBA selections after being named to the third team on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers star has now made the All-NBA team 20 times in his 21 seasons. Other notable selections include Nikola Jokić (first team), Jayson Tatum (first team), Luka Dončić (first team), Giannis Antetokounmpo (first team) and Anthony Edwards (second team).

Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who made the first team for the second straight season, were the only unanimous picks. Dončić finished one second-place vote shy of being a unanimous selection.

Each of the five players on the first team received at least 400 total points in the voting. Jalen Brunson received the most votes of anyone on the second team with 98 total (37 first place, 61 second place) and 368 points.

James was able to keep his streak of consecutive All-NBA selections going after having the best season for a player his age (39) in league history. He averaged 25.7 points, 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds in 71 starts for the Lakers.

The future Hall of Famer became the oldest player in NBA history to shoot at least 40 percent from three-point range (41.0).

Nikola Jokić, who won his third career MVP award this month, returned to the All-NBA first team after being relegated to the second team last year when the voting was still determined by position.

Even if the positional rules still applied, Jokić would have been a lock for the first team. He tied his career high with 26.4 points per game while averaging 12.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 79 starts for the Denver Nuggets.

Antetokounmpo extended the longest active streak of first-team selections in the NBA to six. The 29-year-old was the first player in league history to average at least 30 points per game and shoot at least 60 percent from the field.

Right behind Antetokounmpo on the streak of consecutive first-team selections is Dončić. The Dallas Mavericks superstar has made it in each of the past five seasons.

This was arguably the best season of Dončić’s career with 33.9 points, 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds per game. His third-place showing in the MVP voting was the highest of his career.

Tatum is the first Boston Celtics player to make All-NBA first team in three consecutive years since Larry Bird did it in nine straight seasons from 1979 to ’88.

The two biggest winners from the All-NBA voting were Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton. Both players have already signed max extensions with their clubs that will kick in with the 2024-25 season, but earning All-NBA honors bumps them up to supermax deals.

Instead of the 25 percent max that Edwards and Haliburton would have been owed under the standard max, they will now make the 30 percent supermax. This translates to approximately $245.3 million over the next five years.

Haliburton is the first player for the Indiana Pacers to make the All-NBA team since Victor Oladipo was a third-team selection in 2017-18.
