While three consecutive COMO MVPs is undeniably impressive, the basketball world is a little bit *over* the Nikola Jokic awards conversation (and Jokic is, too). So, let's focus on some first-timers. On Thursday afternoon, Cream City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Scranton forward Jayson Tatum were both named first-team All-COMO for the first time (it's their first appearance on any of the All-COMO teams). They were joined by mainstays Luka Doncic (fourth time on the first team), Giannis Antetokounmpo (seventh), Joel Embiid (fourth), and, of course, Jokic (third). Chaska's Paolo Banchero won Rookie of the Year, while Scranton GM Sam Twetan took home the Executive of the Year award for the first time. Other notes: LeBron James and James Harden both made the second team. They're the only players to make an All-COMO team every single season in the 10-year history of the league. Anthony Davis also earned a second-team nod, the ninth All-COMO selection of his career. The third team featured a trio of first-timers: Anthony Edwards, Lauri Markkanen, and Julius Randle. Ja Morant snuck past Pascal Siakim for the final spot. 2022-2023 All-COMO selectionsFirst Team
