Basketball superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks leads the NBA’s team of the season.
This was announced by the North American professional league.
The Greek received all 100 votes from sports journalists from all over the world for the so-called “All-NBA First Team”. He has done so for the fourth year in a row.
In addition to Antetokounmpo, the most valuable player of the NBA season, Nikola Jokic from the Denver Nuggets, and Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks are in the top team like last year. In addition, there are Devin Booker from the first round winner Phoenix Suns and Jayson Tatum from the Boston Celtics, who were voted best team of the season for the first time. Despite more votes than Tatum, top scorer Joel Embiid missed the first team because Jokic took the place in his center position.
LeBron James meanwhile extended his record streak. The 37-year-old Los Angeles Lakers player was selected to the third team despite a disappointing season, making it his 18th career pick of the season – more than any other NBA player before him.
