Joining Antetokounmpo in the top five are Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum. This diverse group of athletes showcases the global talent and rising stars in the NBA.
The second team features an impressive lineup as well, with New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant, Los Angeles Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard, and Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis.
