MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been unanimously selected to the 2023-24 All-NBA First Team, the league announced on Wednesday, May 22.

It marks Antetokounmpo’s sixth consecutive season earning First Team All-NBA honors and his eighth straight season being named All-NBA.

In his eleventh season in the NBA, Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points (2nd in NBA), 11.5 rebounds (6th in NBA), a career-high 6.5 assists (T-14th in NBA), 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting a career-best 61.1% from the field (7th in NBA). He became the first player in NBA history to average 30+ points on 60% shooting in a season and tallied only the ninth season in league history, and his second consecutive such season, averaging 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists per game.

The Bucks said by doing so, Antetokounmpo joined Oscar Robertson (1960-61, 1961-62) and Wilt Chamberlain (1963-64, 1965-66) as the only players in NBA history to average 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists in multiple seasons.

Antetokounmpo earned his eighth consecutive All-Star selection this season when he was voted a starter and team captain for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. He was also named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for December and earned two Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors.
