Oklahoma City Thunder stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams have been named to the 2024–25 All-NBA teams, the league announced on Friday. Gilgeous-Alexander earned his third straight All-NBA First Team selection, while Williams was named to the All-NBA Third Team — the first such honor of his career.

The duo played key roles in leading the Thunder to a franchise-best 68 wins and the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. OKC became the second-youngest top seed in NBA history, trailing only last year’s Thunder squad. Their 16-win gap over the No. 2 seed matched the largest margin ever between the top two seeds in a conference.

Fresh off being named the 2024–25 Kia NBA Most Valuable Player, Gilgeous-Alexander appeared in 76 games (all starts) and led the league in scoring with 32.7 points per game on 51.9% shooting (37.5% from three). He also averaged 6.4 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.72 steals (5th in NBA), and 1.0 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game. His four 50-point games led the league. The Hamilton, Ontario native also made his third All-Star appearance — his second straight as a starter — and won Western Conference Player of the Month three times.
