NBA officially announced, James set another historical record! Lao Zhan spoke on social media and sighed: I'm so excited

Today, the NBA officially announced the All-NBA All-NBA Team for the 2024-25 season, and James was selected to the All-Second Team. These people are:

First team: Alexander, Mitchell, Tatum, Antetokounmpo, Jokic Second team: Curry, Brunson, Edwards, James, Mobley Three teams: Cunningham, Haliburton, Harden, Towns, Jewe

Some people may ask, why didn't superstars like Leonard and Durant make the cut? There is a rule that has to be mentioned here.In the 2023-2024 season, the NBA began to launch the "65-game award rule" for the best team, requiring players to play at least 65 regular season games to be eligible to participate in the selection of individual awards such as MVP, All-NBA, and Best Defensive Player.

The league believes that stars must ensure adequate attendance in order to maintain ratings and commercial interests, and avoid frequent rotations that affect the enjoyment of games. However, 65 games, I personally feel that it is still quite a lot, as the pace of the game becomes faster and faster, the probability of players getting injured has increased a lot compared to before, and it is set at about 60 games.

Looking at the voting for this year's All-NBA team, James got 17 first-place votes, the most in the second-team.

The 40-year-old James was named to the All-Star Second Team for his 22nd season, the 21st consecutive season in which he was named to the All-NBA team. James (40 years, 145 days) became the oldest player to be named to the All-NBA All-NBA team, surpassing himself last year.

In his 22 years of career, he was selected to the best team in 21 years, and James's selection rate was as high as 95.5%, ranking second in history. Legendary Eagles forward Bob Pettit has been named to the All-Star team for 11 seasons in his career, ranking first in history with a 100% selection rate. Kobe Bryant was selected 15 times in 20 seasons, Jordan was selected 11 times in 15 seasons, and Curry was selected 11 times in 16 seasons.

20 years ago, in the 2004-05 season, when James was first selected to the All-NBA team, the situation in the league: first-team: Duncan, Nowitzki, O'Neal, Iverson, Nash second-team: Garnett, James, Xiaos, Ray Allen, Wade three-team: Marion, Maddy, Big Ben, Arenas, Kobe

This year marks the first time since 1998 that the All-East team has surpassed the West. I have to say that the pattern of being strong in the west and weak in the east no longer exists.

To celebrate his selection to the All-Star team, James also tweeted: "At the age of 40, he was named to the All-Star Team again!! I'm just crazy at the moment! Sitting here watching the playoffs, my mind is full of this thing, and this happiness is far beyond my imagination! ”

At 40 years old, the oldest player in the league, he was selected to the best second team. No one in history has been able to do this, there is only James. Brother Qiu also recently said that James is still the face of the NBA. "Personally, I still think it's LeBron. You just turn on the TV and see the news about LeBron or the Lakers every day. When people think of the NBA, who is the first name that comes to mind? ”

No matter where in the world, when interviewing passers-by about the façade of the NBA, most of the blurted out is definitely Lao Zhan. In the past two days, Lao Zhan's family went to attend the high school graduation ceremony of his youngest son Bryce, and the second son's life is about to enter a new stage and become a student at the University of Arizona. Next summer, Bryce will compete in the NBA Draft, and it is expected that the father and son trio will be on the same stage.
