The NBA also announced that Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets was also named to the All-NBA First Team after he put together an incredible season.
This is a massive honor for all of the players as their incredible seasons were recognized by the NBA on Friday night.
Of course, most of the selections for the All-NBA First Team comes as no surprise, especially Jokic who finished runner-up in the MVP race this season after putting together a historic campaign.
This season, the 30-year-old superstar center averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 57.6% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range.

It was truly a historic season for Jokic as he became just the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double throughout the entirety of a season, joining teammate Russell Westbrook and NBA legend Oscar Robertson.
Jokic also became the first player in league history to finish top three in points, rebounds and assists per game.
Friday’s night’s All-NBA selection was Jokic’s seventh of his career and the fifth time he has been named to All-NBA First Team.
This is well-deserved for the three-time MVP winner as he put together one of the best statistical seasons in NBA history and also led the Nuggets to another playoff appearance.
