    garnered 124 First-Team votes.

Joining Durant and James on the First Team are Chris Paul of
    the Los Angeles Clippers, James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Joakim

    for the first time in their careers. Paul is an All-NBA First Team

    the First Team, while James earned his eighth All-NBA First Team nod.

Durant averaged a career-best 32.0 points to go with 7.4
    rebounds and 5.5 assists, also a career high. In capturing his fourth
    scoring title, he joined Jordan (10), Chamberlain (seven), Gervin (four),
    and Allen Iverson (four) as the only players in league annals to win at
    least four scoring titles. He shot .503 from the field, .391 from
    three-point range, and .873 from the free throw line, leading all players
    in free throws made (703) and attempted (805). Durant authored two
    50-point games, topped the 40-point mark on 14 occasions, and turned in 17
    games with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds.

    season, marking the seventh consecutive season he has improved his field
    goal percentage. He connected on 116 three-point field goals, the
    second straight season he has made over 100 three-point field goals while
    shooting at least 55 percent from the field. He posted his ninth
    2000-point season, becoming only the fourth player in NBA history to
    accomplish this feat, joining Karl Malone (12), Michael Jordan (11) and
    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (9).

Noah, who appeared in 80 of Chicago’s 82 games, ranked sixth
    in the NBA in rebounding (11.3 rpg), 12th in blocks (1.51 bpg) and added
    1.24 steals He was one of just three players (Detroit’s Andre
    Drummond and New Orleans’ Anthony Davis) to average at least 10.0 rebounds,
    1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals. Behind Noah, the Bulls held opponents to a
    .430 field goal percentage, second-stingiest in the league.

Paul led the NBA in assists (10.7 apg) and steals (2.48 spg),
    while averaging 19.1 points and 4.3 rebounds as the Clippers won a
    franchise-record 57 games. Paul became the seventh player in NBA
    history to top the 6,000-assist plateau before the end of his ninth
    season. He’s only the fourth player in NBA history to reach 6,000
    assists before his 29th birthday, joining Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas and
    John Stockton.

Harden finished fifth in the NBA in scoring (25.4 ppg), and
    added 6.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds. He was one of only two players (LeBron
    James) to average at least 25.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds.
    He finished second in the NBA in free throws made (576), topped the
    30-point mark in 24 games and registered two 40-plus outings. Harden
    also ranked fifth in the NBA in minutes (38.0 mpg).

    San Antonio Spurs and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, forwards
    Blake Griffin of the Clippers and Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves
    and center Dwight Howard of the Rockets.
