NBA MVP Joel Embiid headlines the All-NBA first team that was announced Monday.
The 76ers center is joined by Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Mavericks guard Luka Doncic.
Embiid earned first-team honors after averaging a league-high 33.1 points alongside 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.7 blocks per game. He shot 54.8% from the field and 33% from 3-point distance while leading Philadelphia to the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The first-team selection is his first after he made four previous All-NBA second teams. Like Jokić this year, Embiid would likely have made previous first-team under the new CBA.
