After each NBA season, the league announces the first, second, and third All-NBA teams, which recognize the best players from each season. From the 2018-19 season, the following players were selected to the All-NBA Third Team: Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Blake Griffin (Pistons), LeBron James (Lakers), Rudy Gobert (Jazz), and Kemba Walker (Hornets).
Russell Westbrook
For the third straight season, Westbrook averaged a triple-double with 22.9 points, a career-high 10.7 assists, and 11.1 rebounds.
Blake Griffin
Griffin arguably had the best season of his career and he was a huge factor in the Pistons sneaking into the playoffs. In the 2018-19 season, he averaged a career-high 24.5 points, 5.4 assists, and 7.5 rebounds.
LeBron James
His first season in L.A. didn't go as planned as he only played 55 games. The Lakers missed out on the playoffs. In the 55 games he played, he averaged a very good 27.4 points, 8.3 assists, and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 51 percent.
Rudy Gobert
Gobert had the best season of his career and averaged career-high numbers with 15.9 points, 2.0 assists, and 12.9 rebounds. He also shot a really good 66.9 percent. He is a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year.
Kemba Walker
If Walker was on any other team in the NBA, the Hornets would most likely be one of the worst teams in the league. Walker carried the team on his back without much help the whole season. He averaged a career-high 25.6 points, 5.9 assists, and 4.4 rebounds. It remains to be seen if Walker will re-sign with the Hornets.
