The five players were:Shane Larkin (Anadolu Efes Istanbul),Mike James (AS Monaco),Sasha Vezenkov (Olympiacos Piraeus),Nikola Mirotic (FC Barcelona), andWalter Tavares (Real Madrid).

The votes were gathered by media, fans, EuroLeague team captains and head coaches.

From the moment results were announced, a lot of players took to Twitter to express their sympathy for the players that did or didn't get the nod.

Tyrese Rice, the 2014 EuroLeague champ and Final Four MVP with Maccabi, was one of the first to celebrate Mike James making First Team.

Rice went on to argue a case on another member of the All-EuroLeague team, his former teammate at Barca, Sasha Vezenkov.

Jamon Gordon, a former Olympiacos player back in 2010, said he 'had heard' something good about Vezenkov.

Although Othello Hunter had never been on the same team with Mike James, he was excited to see Monaco guard get selected.

James went on to discuss with his Twitter followers the potential All-EuroLeague Second Team choices.

In a similar vein, Tremmell Darden didn't hide that he'd want to see his ex-teammate at Olympiacos Piraeus, Kostas Sloukas, make the first team.
