The NBA has announced the 15 players who have made it to the All-NBA teams. The players who were named to all three teams were announced earlier tonight on TNT before the playoff games for the second-round of the playoffs started.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum and Giannis Antetokounmpo were all named into the All-NBA First Team. While the All-NBA Second Team featured Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jokic and Jaylen Brown.

The All-NBA Third Team featured an even more star-studded cast with Damian Lillard, De'Aaron Fox, LeBron James, Julius Randle and Domantas Sabonis.

This is the third season that LeBron has been named into the All-NBA Third Team, while it's Steph's fourth time being in the Second Team.

Who are the players snubbed from the All-NBA teams?

Revealing the All-NBA teams has always been difficult as there are players bound to be snubbed. This season isn't any different as there are a few players who were not named in any of the three All-NBA teams. Let's take a look and assess why they should've been voted in this season.

Ja Morant

Ja Morant is one of the best talents the league has to offer. His 2022-23 campaign is unmatched and most fans consider it to be worthy of being honored in some way.

Morant led the Memphis Grizzlies to a second place finish in the Western Conference this season with a 51-31 record.

James Harden

The Philadelphia 76ers had an incredible season, thanks to the leadership that James Harden provided throughout their season. Harden's on-court leadership should've been considered as he led the league in assists with 10.7.

Without him, the Sixers probably wouldn't be in the position they are in today.

Devin Booker

Devin Booker only played 53 games this season, but he was still the main factor as to why the Phoenix Suns have been great this season. The former Kentucky guard averaged 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists on 49.4% shooting from the field.

Now, he's leading the Suns in the postseason for a chance to return to the NBA Finals.

Kevin Durant

As a ten-time All-NBA, people thought Kevin Durant would be named into one of the All-NBA teams this season. Like Booker, KD missed a ton of games and only played 47 games, which heavily impacted his case of being recognized.

Luckily for him, he has the 2023-24 season to redeem his place in the NBA as a member of the Suns.

There are more players who have had amazing seasons and missed out on being an All-NBA talent. Still, the 2023-24 season could cause them to play their hearts out and let the voters know that they're elite stars.
