Revealing my All-NBA awards ballot: Who made first team with Nikola Jokic?

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was a unanimous First-Team All-NBA selection for the 2024-25 season, the league announced Friday.

Jokic, 30, has made the All-NBA team seven consecutive years. He is the 29th player in league history and the sixth active player to receive First-Team honors in five seasons. The other active players in that club are Luka Doncic, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.

Jokic was named the MVP runner-up to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander earlier this week.

This was the second year of positionless voting for All-NBA teams. Under the previous system, only one center was eligible to make each team, meaning that Jokic was Second-Team All-NBA in 2022-23 despite finishing second in MVP voting, behind 76ers center Joel Embiid.
