2020 All-NBA Teams + All-Defense & All-Rookie

| Posted on |

With the Los Angeles Clippers losing to Denver in the Western Conference Semifinals, LeBron James road to another ring (arguably) got a little easier. If he doesn’t get it, however, at least he can say he’s been named to the most All-NBA teams of any player in league history. On Wednesday, James was named to his 16th All-NBA team (first team), breaking a tie at 15 with Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, multiple players achieved the honor for the first time in their careers; most notably, James’ fellow first-teamer Luka Doncic. Of the players still alive in the 2020 NBA Playoffs — besides LeBron — Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jokic, and Jayson Tatum were honored.

The complete list can be found below, including the number of times they have been on an All-NBA team, and since we didn’t have a chance to post about the 2020 All-Defense and All-Rookie teams, we’ll put them after!
