Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver's Nikola Jokic and Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo were the only players to appear on every MVP ballot this season.
It only made sense that they would be unanimous All-NBA picks as well.
Gilgeous-Alexander -- the league's MVP -- along with Jokic and Antetokounmpo were unveiled Friday night as first-team All-NBA players, along with Boston's Jayson Tatum and Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell.
Tatum was another unanimous first-team pick. Mitchell made the first team for the first time.
Antetokounmpo has seven first-team selections and nine appearances on the All-NBA team overall. Jokic is a five-time first-teamer and seven-time All-NBA pick, Tatum is first-team for the fourth time (fifth overall), Gilgeous-Alexander has been first-team in all three of his All-NBA appearances, and Mitchell is All-NBA for the second time in his career.
Also on the second team: Minnesota's Anthony Edwards, Cleveland's Evan Mobley, Golden State's Stephen Curry and New York's Jalen Brunson.
Mitchell got 61 first-team votes, 35 second-team and four third-team. Edwards got 11 first-team, 87 second-team and two third-team. Curry got two first-team, 68 second-team and 30 third-team. And Brunson got two first-team, 62 second-team and 36 third-team.
The last time an All-NBA ballot was sent to the league without Antetokounmpo's name listed was 2017, when four of the 100 voters didn't rank him among the league's top players.
Since then: 799 ballots cast, 799 listing Antetokounmpo.
James has 13 first-team appearances, four second-team selections and four third-team nods.
Those awards voted on by the panel included Gilgeous-Alexander winning MVP, Cleveland's Kenny Atkinson winning coach of the year, Atlanta's Dyson Daniels winning most improved player, San Antonio's Stephon Castle winning rookie of the year, Mobley winning defensive player of the year, Brunson winning clutch player of the year, and Boston's Payton Pritchard winning sixth man of the year.
Also chosen by that panel: the All-NBA team, along with the All-Defensive team and All-Rookie team.
There were other awards chosen through various other voting processes, including Oklahoma City's Sam Presti winning executive of the year, Boston's Jrue Holiday winning the social justice award and the sportsmanship award, Curry winning the Twyman-Stokes teammate of the year award, and Golden State's Draymond Green winning the hustle award.
