The Associated Press All-NBA Team, also known simply as the All-NBA Team, is an annual honor bestowed on the best players in the league following every NBA season. The award is voted on by members of the Associated Press. Currently there is a 129 member voting panel.[1] The team has been selected in every season of the league's existence, dating back to its inaugural season in 1946-47.[2] The team consists of three five man teams, a first, second, and third team comprising 15 roster spots. Players receive 5 points for a first team vote, 3 point for a second team vote, and 1 point for a third team vote.[1] From 1946-47 until 1954-55 seasons, players were selected without regard to position. Since the 1955-56 season, each team consists of 2 Forwards, 1 Center, and 2 Guards. The top 5 vote-getters make the first team with the next 5 making the second team and so forth. From 1946-47 until 1987-88 there were only two teams.[2] In the case of a tie at the 5th position of any team the roster is extended. If the first team consists of 6 players due to a tie the second team will consist of at least 5 players with the potential for more in the event of additional ties. However this does not occur as often as it does with other NBA awards such as the NBA All-Defensive Team due to the large amount of writers voting for the award and the larger disparity in value in first, second, and third team votes which exist between the awards.

Karl Malone has the most All-NBA First Team honors with eleven,[3] while six players are tied for second most with ten: Bob Cousy, Bob Pettit, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan.[3] Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the record for most total All-NBA Team honors with fifteen.[3] Malone is second with fourteen, and Shaquille O'Neal currently is third with thirteen All-NBA Team honors.[3] Dolph Schayes, Bob Cousy, Jerry West, and Hakeem Olajuwon are tied for fourth with twelve selections.[3]

In the all NBA team selections there are are three teams you can be picked for: All NBA first team, All NBA second team and All NBA third team.
