NBA s best team list: Thunder 3 players are on the list, James makes history

First Team: Alexander, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Tatum, Mitchell

The best team this season can be regarded as a model of the integration of the old and new. Regular season MVP Alexander led the Thunder to the top with a league-best record of 68 wins and 14 losses with averaging 32.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. Jokic's all-around performance of 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game makes the Nuggets still a force that cannot be ignored in the West.

Antetokounmpo averaged 31.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, continuing to interpret the dominance of the Greek Monsters. Tatum was selected for the fourth consecutive year with averaging 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6 assists per game. Mitchell made the first team with averaging 28.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, proving that he deserves this honor with his strength.

Second Team: Edwards, James, Curry, Mobley, Brunson

Curry tied Jordan's 11 best-line record with 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and had long become a legend that changed basketball history. James, 40, averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game in the Lakers, not only became the first player in NBA history to be selected into the All-Squad in the age of 40, but also extended his consecutive selection record to 21 seasons.

Edwards averaged 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, leading the Timberwolves back to the top four in the Western Conference, while Brunson averaged 24.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, helping the Knicks to achieve fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Mobley's selection is an affirmation of his defensive ability. The 23-year-old star averaged 17.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, which is the core of the Cavaliers' defensive system.

Three Teams: Cunningham, Towns, Harden, Halliburton, Jaylen Williams

36-year-old Harden returns to the best team after five years and becomes the most attention of the three teams. Although he averaged only 19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, Harden's organizational role in the Clippers is still irreplaceable. However, his selection also caused considerable controversy. The voting results showed that Harden narrowly defeated Rockets center Shin Kyung with only 10 points.

Cunningham averaged 23.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, Halliburton averaged 22.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game, Towns averaged 24.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, and Jaylen Williams averaged 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, reflecting the league's expectations for the new generation of players.

Have you ever seen a 40-year-old athlete still dominate the league?

On May 24, 2025, the NBA officially gave the answer: LeBron James was selected for the All-Squad for the 21st time, becoming the only player in league history to maintain his peak for more than 20 seasons.
