The 2023/24 NBA regular season is coming to an end, and now it’s time to look back at the entire season and make award predictions. Join Sporting News in predicting the players who will appear in the 3 All-NBA squads in the 2023/24 season.
From this season, the NBA has stipulated that players who do not play a minimum of 65 games will not be on the consideration list to receive awards at the end of the season. Therefore, stars like Joel Embiid or Kyrie Irving will be removed from the list even though they are in high form.
All-NBA First Team
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Luka Doncic
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jayson Tatum
Nikola Jokic
Gilgeous-Alexander, Doncic, Antetokounmpo and Jokic are the best in their positions, they are also strong candidates for the MVP title this season.
Jokic continues to prove he is the most complete player in the NBA today. The Serbian striker is an unstoppable scorer. Jokic is also the Denver Nuggets’ best playmaker this season. He is currently the strongest candidate for the MVP title, and deserves to be named in the All-NBA First Team.
Jokic’s competitor in the MVP race is Gilgeous-Alexander. The former LA Clippers defender is having a season of rapid progress with OKC Thunder. Gilgeous-Alexander is both the main scorer and leader of Thunder’s second-youngest squad in the tournament.
Doncic is simply unstoppable. No defense can mark the Slovenian star.
Doncic has improved his stepback ability this season, making his 1vs1 situations even more unpredictable and dangerous, as evidenced by his 73-point match against the Atlanta Hawks. If the opponent wants to send many people to guard Doncic, don’t forget that he is a defender with excellent vision and passing ability.
The last position in squad 1 is Tatum. He is the No. 1 star of the Boston Celtics – the team that will lead the NBA after the regular season. Tatum’s comprehensiveness in attack and defense is the reason why he deserves to be on the NBA’s first team.
