MILWAUKEE (May 23, 2025)Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been selected to the 2024-25 Kia All-NBA First Team, the league announced today. The selection marks Antetokounmpo’s seventh consecutive First Team All-NBA nod and his ninth season earning All-NBA honors.

In his 12th NBA season, Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points (2nd in NBA), 11.9 rebounds (6th in NBA), a career-high-tying 6.5 assists (13th in NBA) and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 60.1% from the field (6th in NBA). Antetokounmpo tallied his second consecutive season with 30+ points per game on at least 60% shooting, remaining the only player in NBA history to reach those figures in a season after becoming the first player in league history to do so during the 2023-24 campaign. Antetokounmpo also surpassed 20,000 career points this season on March 5, becoming the sixth-youngest player in NBA history to hit the mark (30 years, 89 days), and he finished the season in 48th place (9th among active players) on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 20,538 career points.

Antetokounmpo tallied his third career season with 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists per game this season, passing Wilt Chamberlain (1963-64, 1965-66) and Oscar Robertson (1960-61, 1961-62) for the most 30/10/5 seasons in NBA history. He logged a league-high 22 games this season with 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists, and his 150 career such games are the third-most in NBA history behind Robertson (157) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (157). Antetokounmpo also led the NBA this season with 35 30-point double-doubles, while scoring 30+ points in 40 total games (2nd in NBA). He recorded a career-high 11 triple-doubles this season (2nd in NBA), including a 42-point triple-double on Nov. 30 vs. Washington that marked his first career 40-point triple-double and the third 40-point triple-double in franchise history.

After leading the Bucks to the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Championship in December, Antetokounmpo was named the Emirates NBA Cup Most Valuable Player and selected to the Emirates NBA Cup All-Tournament Team. He was voted a starter for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, marking his ninth consecutive All-Star selection and start, and he earned Eastern Conference Player of the Month honors in January and Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors four times.

Antetokounmpo is joined on the 2024-25 Kia All-NBA First Team by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder), Nikola Jokić (Denver Nuggets), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics).
