Celtics star Jayson Tatum earned his first All-NBA first team nod on Tuesday, narrowly bumping 76ers star Joel Embiid to the second team.
Tatum averaged 26.9 points, eight rebounds and 4.4 assists during the regular season, shooting 45.3/35.3/85.3 splits from the field.
Both Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart took to Twitter to congratulate their teammate.
In an odd twist, Tatum got in despite receiving fewer voting points than Joel Embiid. Embiid — who was widely considered one of 2-3 real MVP candidates this season, along with Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo — received 57 first-team votes and 414 total votes, while Tatum received 49 first-team votes and 390 total points.
