The NBA announced their All-NBA teams, and three Golden State Warriors were featured. Warriors Stephen Curry added another honor to his season earning a unanimous first team selection.
Alongside Curry, were perennial All-NBA’er LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the San Antonio Spurs Kawhi Leonhard, Los Angeles Clippers big man DeAndre Jordan, and current Warriors foil Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook.

In addition to Curry, teammate Draymond Green was placed on the second team, and Klay Thompson came in on the third team. This was the first time in 60 years that three Warriors players had made the All-NBA teams.
Stephen Curry – 1st Team All-NBA (unanimous)
Draymond Green – 2nd Team All-NBA
Klay Thompson – 3rd Team All-NBA— Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) May 26, 2016
Earlier this year, Curry was also named the unanimous league MVP while breaking his own three-point record, connecting on 402 this season. This year Green was first team All-NBA defense. Additionally, Thompson is no slouch in his own right as he has formed the most lethal backcourt combo, perhaps in NBA history, with fellow Splash Brother Curry.
All three of the players were named Western Conference All-Stars as well.
Currently, the Warriors are looking to claw their way back against the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals after falling behind 3-1 in the series. Thunder series aside, the Warriors completed the most dominant regular season in NBA history with a record of 73-9.
Here are some highlights of the trio from the outstanding season that the Warriors had.
