Milwaukee Bucks: After averaging 30.4 points on a career-best 61.1 percent shooting, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists (also a career-high mark), 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named as part of the All-NBA first team — and rightfully so.

This is a much-deserved honor for the Bucks talisman, who has now joined an elite group of superstars who have been included in an All-NBA team at least eight times — and it’s far from over for Antetokounmpo.

The NBA released the list of all three All-NBA teams on Wednesday night, which unsurprisingly, had Antetokounmpo included in the first team alongside Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jayson Tatum, and Luka Doncic.

Quite the starting five, right?

The Bucks organization was quick to congratulate their cornerstone superstar via X, formerly Twitter. Naturally, the Milwaukee faithful flocked to the post with their own messages of praise for the former back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player:

One person said: “Best player in the league”

The second fan expressed: “Don’t let them try to erase Giannis legacy!”

The third continues: “Miss watching him play. Next season is ours!”

There’s a whole lot more where that came from, too.

Congratulations are in order for one of the best to ever do it. As one of the tweets above indicated, Antetokounmpo is the unbridled GOAT in the eyes of more than a few fans out there.

He will be back next season and the NBA better be ready for the revenge tour.

Damian Lillard, however, was not even in contention for any of the three All-NBA teams. The 33-year-old, who was named an All-Star for the eighth time in his career this past season, did not even get a single vote for the All-NBA squad.

Along with the announcement of the three All-NBA teams for 2023-24, the league also released the final vote tally. Superstars such as Jaylen Brown, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Rudy Gobert, and Victor Wembanyama, to name a few, were some of the names that missed out on an All-NBA nod.

As it turns out, however, not even a single voter believed that Lillard deserved a place in the All-NBA squads

You have to note that Lillard has been a member of the All-NBA team in five out of the last six seasons. The only time he missed out on the honor was during the 2021-22 campaign when he played just 29 games for the Portland Trail Blazers due to a major injury.

The fact that Lillard was completely snubbed this year speaks volumes of the type of season he had in his debut campaign in Milwaukee — at least in the view of the voters.
