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.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Fans Heap Praise on Giannis Antetokounmpo for All-NBA Honor
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:
First Team All-NBA for the sixth straight year.
Congrats, Giannis! pic.twitter.com/Te7Yu977F3

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.
