Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Doncic were voted onto the first time. Nikola Jokic, Donovan Mitchell, Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Jayson Tatum were named to the second team.

Domantas Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox, Damian Lillard and Julius Randle are with James on the third team.

Anthony Davis finished fourth in voting among centers, behind Embiid, Jokic and Sabonis.
