No surprises in the “ All-NBA First team », with the presence of the 2024 MVP, Nikola Jokic (Nuggets, unanimously), and the two finalists for the trophy, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder, unanimously) and Luka Doncic (Mavericks). Without forgetting Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) et Jayson Tatum (Celtics).

This is the first time that Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards have been invited to such a party, while the trio Durant – Leonard – Davis had not been rewarded in this way since 2022, 2021 and 2020 respectively.
About the ” All-NBA Third team “, she understands Tyrese Haliburton (Pacers), Stephen Curry (Warriors), Devin Booker (Suns), LeBron James (Lakers) et Domantas Sabonis (Kings).
This is the twentieth time (in 21 seasons…) that LeBron James appears in one of the three best five. Stephen Curry appears for the tenth time. Finally, Tyrese Haliburton is honored for the very first time and, in a twist of fate, Domantas Sabonis, the one against whom he was transferred in 2022, is there to accompany him.
Soon the biggest contract in history for Luka Doncic?
Regarding the traditional financial issues surrounding these three “All-NBA teams”, Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton will now receive $245 million over the next five years (instead of 204), while Domantas Sabonis will receive a $1.3 million bonus. .
