Forward David Lee became the first Warriors player to earn All-NBA
honors since 1994 when he was named to the All-NBA third team on Thursday.
Lee, who was limited in the Warriors' playoff run after suffering a torn
right hip flexor against Denver, averaged 18.5 points and 11.2 rebounds
per game during the regular season. He was was the only player in the
NBA to average at least 18 points, 11 rebounds and three assists per
game. Lee also led the NBA with 56 double-doubles, becoming the first
Warrior to do so since Wilt Chamberlain in 1963-64.
Meanwhile, LeBron James was a unanimous pick for the All-NBA first team
and Kobe Bryant earned his record-tying 11th first-team selection.

James received all 119 votes for the first team from a panel of
sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the U.S. and Canada. Joining
the league's MVP and Bryant on the first team Thursday were Oklahoma
City's Kevin Durant, San Antonio center Tim Duncan and Clippers guard
Chris Paul.
Bryant tied Utah Hall of Famer Karl Malone with his 11th first-team nod.
Lee's inclusion on the third team was Golden State's first All-NBA honor
since Latrell Sprewell was a first-team selection in 1993-94. For his
efforts this season, Lee was also named to the Western Conference
All-Star team, becoming the first Warriors player to earn All-Star
recognition since Sprewell in 1997.
NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony led the second team, joined by guards
Russell Westbrook and Tony Parker, center Marc Gasol and forward Blake
Griffin. The third team was Houston's James Harden, Miami's Dwyane Wade,
Lakers center Dwight Howard and forwards Paul George of Indiana and Lee.
Warriors star Stephen Curry received the most votes among guards not
chosen to the first three All-NBA teams.
