One day after the All-Defensive team was announced, the All-NBA team has been revealed.
The Miami Heat’s LeBron James, the 2011-12 Kia NBA Most Valuable Player and winner of three of the previous four MVP awards, highlights the 2011-12 All-NBA First Team. James received 118 of a possible 120 first team votes. Joining James on the First Team are Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Here are a few tweets from around the world following the reveal:
Carmelo and Tyson Chandler named 3rd team All NBA. Jeremy Lin didn't receive one vote

Nice job on All-NBA teams — stuff I'd disagree with, but nothing in LOL territory except the two votes for Luis Scola.

Big year for NBA coach-killers: Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony both made All-NBA teams. Somewhere Latrell Sprewell is beaming proudly.

That marks Dirk's 12th consecutive All-NBA selection. Only he and Kobe have been named to an All-NBA Team each of the past 12 seasons.

The real story of the All-NBA teams is that there weren't 15 guys who had great seasons. Thank the lockout and schedule for that.
