The NBA has made the three most outstanding quintets of the 2021-2022 season official. Based on three types of votes (5, 3 and 1 point), Giannis Antetokounmpo has been chosen unanimously in the first quintet of the campaign, followed by Doncic and Jokic. Within the three great candidates for MVP, Joel Embiid has finished in the second best quintet due to his position despite winning Tatum in the voting. For the first time since 1955, no player from the best quintet is over 27 years old.
First quintet: Luka Doncic, Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic
Second quintet: Ja Morant, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid
Third quintet: Chris Paul, Trae Young, Pascal Siakam, LeBron James and Karl-Anthony Towns

In turn, LeBron James has entered one of the best quintets for the 18th time in his NBA career, thus increasing the record of 17 that he had in his own hands.
