OAKLAND, CA – Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant and guard Stephen Curry have been named to the 2017-18 All-NBA Team, with Durant earning First Team honors and Curry garnering Third Team accolades, the NBA announced today. It represents the fourth-straight season the Warriors have had multiple players on the All-NBA team and 11th time overall.
Durant and Curry helped the Warriors become the fifth franchise in NBA history to win 58 games (58-24, .707) in four-straight seasons, joining the 76ers, Bucks, Celtics and Lakers. Golden State claimed the Pacific Division title for the fourth-straight season, a first in franchise history.
Durant earned his eighth career All-NBA selection, compiling averages of 26.4 points (6th in NBA), 6.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, a career-high 1.75 blocks (5th) and 34.2 minutes in 68 games (all starts). The forward, who has been named to the All-NBA First Team six times, become the 44th player in NBA history, and second-youngest (LeBron James), to score 20,000 career points on Jan. 10 versus the L.A. Clippers.
Curry earned his fifth career All-NBA honor after averaging 26.4 points per game (6th in the NBA) to go with 6.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.57 steals (7th) in 32.0 minutes over 51 games (all starts). Curry is the first Warrior to be named to five-straight All-NBA teams since Wilt Chamberlain from 1959-60 to 1963-64. He was named Western Conference Player of the Month in January, marking his seventh career monthly award, the most in franchise history.
