The All-NBA team is a list selected by NBA media members to represent the fifteen players who have had the best overall performances throughout the season. The list is structured to include two guards, two forwards, and one center for each of the three All-NBA teams. Here we run into the crux of our issue. With Nikola Jokić and Joel Embiid both being centers and only one spot on the First Team for a center the nod obviously must go to the player who won the Most Valuable Player award, Nikola Jokić. This lack of flexibility is the direct cause for Joel Embiid not being respected as a player who put forth a top two performance during the season.
