NBA First Team selection — his third in as many years — ties him with NBA legends like Allen Iverson, Kawhi Leonard and Steve Nash, while surpassing others like John Stockton, Dwyane Wade and former Thunder Russell Westbrook.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had two representatives. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was named to the All-NBA First Team, while Jalen Williams was named to the All-NBA Third Team. Neither entrant should be a shocker, considering the respective seasons they had.

Until now. The OKC Thunder guard earned a spot on the 2024-25 NBA All-Defensive first team Thursday. And Williams, who has spent the entire season campaigning for Dort rather than himself, landed on the second team. It's the first time in franchise history that two Thunder players have made All-Defensive teams in the same season.
