Shai Gilgeous-Alexander On All-NBA First Team Selection: “Now I Wake Up & The Team I’m On Is First”

Luguentz Dort also took the time to wish his Canadian teammate congratulations on the win with an Instagram story.
“First team!!” he wrote.
Gilgeous-Alexander might have been placed on the most elite All-NBA team, but other Canadian players impressed as well.
Montreal-born player Bennedict Mathurin made it to the All-Rookie First Team while the infamous Dillon Brooks landed a spot on the All-Defensive Second Team.
Also on the All-Defensive Second Team is Toronto Raptors wing O.G. Anunoby, whose appearance marks the first time he’s been voted into either team.
The obvious next step for Gilgeous-Alexander would be to win an MVP and his road to it might come soon. This year, he received 46 total points for the award, falling vastly behind Embiid’s 915, but as the Oklahoma City Thunder improve, it certainly wouldn’t be an impossibility.
