In an NBA season packed with incredible individual performances, we’re letting you decide which 15 players are most deserving of All-NBA recognition.
On Monday, we opened voting for the All-NBA First Team, and 36 hours later, we had answers for which five players you believe deserve spots on that team. On Wednesday, we published polls for the All-NBA Second Team, and we have now have our five players for that squad too. While there were some clear-cut winners in the Second Team polls, the results at guard – where the top three finishers were within 23 votes – were particularly interesting.
Here are the voting results so far:
- Guard: James Harden (Rockets)
- Guard: Russell Westbrook (Thunder)
- Forward: LeBron James (Cavaliers)
- Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks)
- Note: Antetokounmpo was the third-leading vote-getter at forward behind Anthony Davis, who won the voting at center.
- Center: Anthony Davis (Pelicans)
- Guard: Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers)
- Guard: Stephen Curry (Warriors)
- Forward: Kevin Durant (Warriors)
- Forward: LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs)
- Center: Joel Embiid (Sixers)
While your First Team picks didn’t include any players who missed more than 10 games this season, you were a little more willing to reward exceptional injury-shortened performances on the Second Team. Durant and Embiid appeared in just 68 and 63 games, respectively, while Curry only played 51. If those three players had been able to stay healthy for a full 80+ games, they would’ve been strong candidates for spots on the First Team.
We’re moving on today to the All-NBA Third Team, so cast your votes below for the two guards, two forwards, and one center that you believe are most deserving of being named to that squad. Don’t forget that a few players — including Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler, and Al Horford — qualify at two positions.
You’ll have until Monday morning before we close this round of voting and round up the final results. You can also select two players apiece in the guard and forward polls, so be sure to take advantage of that.
