On May 11, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the list of the best team of the year for the 2022-23 season. Selected include Alexander, Doncic, Alphabet Brother, Tatum, Embiid; Selected for the second team include Mitchell, Butler, Curry, Brown, Jokic; The three teams included Fox, Lillard, James, Randle and Sabonis. Alphabet Brother has been unanimously selected for 5 consecutive years!
Alphabet Brother scored 500 points, Tatum 484, Embiid 474, Alexander 407 and Doncic 403.
Alexander averaged 31.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the regular season this season, leading the Thunder to a 40-42 record and reaching the playoffs, which surprised many people. It was the first time in Alexander's career that he was named to the All-NBA team, and he was a team as soon as he was selected. He has become one of the league's rising stars and was named an All-Star for the first time this season. Alexander, who is less than 25 years old, has a promising future.
Doncic averaged 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8 assists in the regular season this season, leading the Mavericks to a 38-44 record. This is Doncic's fourth All-NBA selection, and all four have been first-team. Doncic's individual performances are still at a high level, but the team has not even made the play-offs. The Lone Rangers traded for Irving before the trade deadline, but the team's record did not rise but went down, which was disappointing.
Averaging 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the regular season this season, Alphabet was named to the All-NBA team for the seventh time in his career and the first team for the fifth time in a row. He led the Bucks to a 58-24 record, the highest in the league. However, in the first round of the playoffs, Alphabet G1 was injured and missed the G2 and G3 games, although he returned in G4, but was unable to recover, and the Bucks suffered 1-4 to the Heat.
Tatum averaged 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the regular season this season, named to the All-NBA Team for the third time in his career, and was named to the First Team for the second year in a row. He led the Celtics to a 57-25 record, second in the league. The Greens are currently trailing the 76ers 3-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and Tatum's form has had some ups and downs.
Embiid averaged 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in the regular season this season, and was named to the All-NBA Team for the fifth time in his career and the first time in the First Team. He was the league's scoring leader for two consecutive years and was named regular-season MVP this season. The 76ers are 54-38 and third in the East. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the 76ers currently lead the Greens 3-2.
The three-team James averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the regular season this season, leading the Lakers to a 43-39 record. It was the 20th season of James' career, and he became the all-time scoring champion but played only 55 regular-season games due to injury. In his 20-year career, James was named to the All-NBA team 19 times, only in his rookie season.
Salary expert Bobby Marks noted that being named to the All-NBA team means both Tatum and Brown are eligible for a super max-pay extension. Brown can sign up to $318 million for five years (until July 2024), and Tatum can sign $295 million for five years.
