With the NBA Playoffs well underway, the league has announced the All-NBA Teams.

Headlining the first team is NBA MVP Joel Embiid. As such, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic didn't have a place on the first team as a center and has been selected into the All-NBA Second Team.

Together with Embiid, the European duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic as well as Jayson Tatum and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got selected into the First Team.

Two players got their first-ever nod in the Second Team with Donovan Mitchell and Jaylen Brown making the selection. They're joined by Jokic, Jimmy Butler, and Stephen Curry.

The Sacramento Kings duo of Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox made their first-ever appearance on an All-NBA Team after being selected into the Third Team. LeBron James, Julius Randle, and Damian Lillard round up the list.

The picks were made by a panel of 100 reporters and broadcasters from around the world who cover the NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was the only unanimous selection as a first-teamer. Tatum received 92 first-team votes, Embiid got 87, Gilgeous-Alexander got 63, and Doncic received 60.
