NBA Twitter reacts to All-NBA Teams: ‘Philly should just start listing Joel Embiid at guard moving forward’
The 2021-22 All-NBA Teams were announced Tuesday evening, with Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the voting in the First Team.
First Team: Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum
Second Team: Joel Embiid, Ja Morant, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, DeMar DeRozan
Third Team: Karl-Anthony Towns, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Trae Young, Pascal Siakam
As expected, reactions from fans and players on Twitter… came in as the cherry on top.
The Kia All-NBA First Team is made up entirely of players age 27 or younger for the first time since the 1954-55 season.

I dare someone to give me a legitimate at how Devin Booker was better than Steph in the regular season, don’t use wins.
— Dubs💍 (@dubsforever7) May 25, 2022
Devin Booker was the best player on the best team in the regular season = first team all NBA.
It’s one thing to not like the guy but facts are facts with all due respect
