All-NBA Team

[1] This contrasts with the voting for starters of the NBA All-Star Game, which has chosen two backcourt and three frontcourt players since 2013.

[5][6] The NBA's sister league, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), announced late in its 2022 season that it was changing the composition of its All-WNBA Teams from the All-NBA format to a "positionless" format in which members are selected without regard to position.

Protections also exist for players who suffer season-ending injuries, who are eligible with 62 credited games, and those affected by what the CBA calls "bad faith circumstances".

[11][12] During the era of position-based team composition, voters were instructed to "vote for the player at the position he plays regularly",[13] and some used the flexibility to designate a player at a position which was not their primary role.

[1] This occasionally caused a player to be slotted to a lower team or miss an All-NBA selection altogether.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan previously shared the record with fifteen.

[20] Malone and James each share a record eleven consecutive first-team selections.
