All-NBA Team candidates
- LeBron James (49 games)
- Cade Cunningham (61 games)
- Victor Wembanyama (55 games)
- Nikola Jokic (55 games)
- Kawhi Leonard (54 games)
- Deni Avdija (54 games)
- Michael Porter Jr. (52 games)
Averaging 21.3 points, 6.9 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 stocks per game in his 40s, Los Angeles Lakers gigastar LeBron James has no chance of making an All-NBA Team this season. Let’s leave it at that.
So far as Cunningham, Wembanyama and Jokic, no player that would have been a mainstream candidate for MVP should be left off the roster. Through all the adversity, Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard has quietly kept his team in contention. No Paul George. No Norman Powell. And now, no James Harden. Avdija and Porter Jr. are long shots more than the others, but featured scorers are seemingly favored by voters.
