And Dallas&#x27; Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City&#x27;s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are in position to make around $1 million per game a few years from now.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Denver&#x27;s Nikola Jokic and Gilgeous-Alexander were the only unanimous first-team selections on this season&#x27;s All-NBA team, which was revealed by the league on Wednesday night. They were joined on the first team by Doncic, Milwaukee&#x27;s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Boston&#x27;s Jayson Tatum.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">On the second team: New York&#x27;s Jalen Brunson, Minnesota&#x27;s Anthony Edwards, Phoenix&#x27;s Kevin Durant, the Los Angeles Clippers&#x27; Kawhi Leonard and James&#x27; Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Anthony Davis.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">The third team had James, Golden State&#x27;s Stephen Curry, Sacramento&#x27;s Domantas Sabonis, Indiana&#x27;s Tyrese Haliburton and Phoenix&#x27;s Devin Booker.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">The NBA changed the rules starting with this season and All-NBA voting is now positionless — as opposed to having two guards, two forwards and one center on each of the teams, a formula that had been in place since the 1950s. Players also had to appear in a minimum number of games, in most cases, to be eligible for award consideration from the panel of 99 broadcasters and writers who served as the voting panel.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">For James, who was the youngest player to make All-NBA when he was voted onto the team for the 2004-05 season, another selection only added to his list of accomplishments.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">The 20 All-NBA overall picks extended his record, a total that’s now five more than Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His 20 consecutive selections is obviously another record, and he’s the first player to be age 39 or older during what became an All-NBA regular season.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Abdul-Jabbar and Duncan were both just a few days from turning 39 when the regular seasons ended in what became their final All-NBA campaigns, Abdul-Jabbar’s being 1985-86 and Duncan’s being 2014-15. James — the NBA&#x27;s career scoring leader — played in 71 games this season, the last 42 of those coming after he turned 39.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">And for Doncic and Gilgeous-Alexander, the All-NBA nods mean they are poised for supermax extensions that can be signed in 2025, both of which would set records.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Doncic can sign a five-year deal worth about $347 million, starting at nearly $60 million in 2026-27 and ending at about $79 million in 2030-31. Gilgeous-Alexander will be eligible to sign a four-year extension worth about $294 million. His would start in 2027-28 at around $65 million — and the final year, 2030-31, would see him earning just over $81 million, or nearly $1 million per game. It would be the first time an NBA player&#x27;s annual salary has topped $80 million.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Also seeing major financial boosts from their All-NBA selections were Edwards and Haliburton, both of whom agreed to extensions last summer that were to be worth about $205 million — and now will be worth about $245 million over the next five seasons.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;line-height:1.4;padding:0.8rem 0px !important;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Durant made All-NBA for the 11th time, tying for the 12th-most in NBA history.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
