The NBA has officially unveiled its All-NBA teams for the 2025-26 season, with the First Team perfectly mirroring the top five spots in MVP voting. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokić, Victor Wembanyama, Luka Dončić, and Cade Cunningham earned the league’s highest honors, reflecting outstanding individual and team performances.
All-NBA First Team Selections:
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder – SGA captured his fourth consecutive All-NBA First Team nod, leading the Thunder to a 64-win season and consecutive MVP honors. He averaged 31.1 points per game, while contributing across all facets of the game, cementing his position as the league’s premier guard.
- Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets – Returning to the First Team for the fifth time, Jokić maintained his signature consistency with a 27.7-point, 12.9-rebound, 10.7-assist triple-double season. Despite a first-round playoff exit, Jokić’s impact on Denver remains undeniable.
- Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs – After returning from last season’s blood clot setback, Wemby dominated the floor with 25 points, 11.5 rebounds, and a league-leading 3.1 blocks per game. The 22-year-old was named Defensive Player of the Year and continues to lead the Spurs deep into the playoffs.
- Luka Dončić, Los Angeles Lakers – Dončić carried the Lakers through injury-laden stretches, averaging 33.5 points per game. Though a hamstring injury cut his season short, the league granted a special exception allowing him First Team recognition.
- Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons – The Pistons’ franchise star averaged 23.9 points and 9.9 assists, leading Detroit to the Eastern Conference’s top seed. Despite missing time with a collapsed lung, Cunningham returned for the playoffs, maintaining his status as one of the league’s premier two-way guards.
All-NBA Second Team includes Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Jalen Brunson, while the Third Team features Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray, Jalen Johnson, Jalen Duren, and Chet Holmgren.
The All-NBA selections underscore a season dominated by both established superstars and rising talent, highlighting the league’s balance of proven excellence and emerging potential. Notably, Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokić received all 100 First Team votes, while Wembanyama narrowly missed unanimous selection by a single vote.
As the postseason continues, these five First Team standouts are not only celebrated for their regular-season performance but also expected to influence the outcomes of the playoffs and shape the NBA’s narrative for years to come.
