Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander and San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama lead the All‑NBA first team, joining Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham. Wembanyama becomes the first Spurs player on the first team since 2017‑18. Jokic earns a record‑tying sixth first‑team nod.

Gilgeous‑Alexander, a four‑time straight first‑team member, and Jokic finish 1‑2 in MVP voting, both unanimous picks. Wembanyama, missing by a single vote, marks a historic defensive rise for the Spurs, who now trail the Thunder 2‑1 in the Western Conference finals.

Doncic, averaging 33.5 points, and Cunningham—both 64‑game seasons—received special exemptions to qualify. The selections underscore the league’s balance: veteran dominance alongside emerging talent, and they reset the Spurs’ All‑NBA record books.

LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo miss All‑NBA ballots for the first time, highlighting the strict 65‑game rule and the importance of durability in elite recognition.
