So based on the math here, it appears Embiid got 12 first-team votes at center, plus an additional 45 as a forward, unless I’m missing something. So there was definitely an attempt to get him on First Team. So, he got more points than Tatum (last forward in) but less as a forward pic.twitter.com/Afzlre6jd8 – 8:37 PM

Embiid got more total points that Tatum, but Embiid must have gotten more votes at C than F, while Tatum got his votes as a Forward. So Embiid is classified as a C and moves to 2nd team. pic.twitter.com/EM4OcqYU3q – 8:35 PM

No real surprises for All-NBA teams. Joker had 88 first team votes and 12 second team votes, assumably as the second team center behind Joel Embiid.

Jay King: Jayson Tatum said he “kind of felt disrespected” when he didn’t make an all-NBA team last season. “Do I think I was one of the best 15 players last year? A thousand percent.” -via Twitter @ByJayKing / May 25, 2022
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum have been selected to the 2021-22 Kia All-NBA First Team, the NBA announced today. -via NBA.com / May 24, 2022
With the selection of Antetokounmpo (27 years old), Dončić (23), Jokić (27), Booker (25) and Tatum (24), the Kia All-NBA First Team is made up entirely of players age 27 or younger for the first time in 67 years (1954-55 season). Dončić is the fourth player in NBA history to be named to the All-NBA First Team three or more times before turning 24, joining Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant and Max Zaslofsky. -via NBA.com / May 24, 2022
