As the Miami Heat continue their quest for a second-consecutive NBA Championship, star player and League MVP LeBron James recently added another piece of hardware to his already stellar trophy case.
When the 2013 All-NBA teams were recently revealed, the 28-year-old four-time Most Valuable Player received all 119 votes for First Team honors, the only player on the list to accomplish such a feat.
James averaged 26.8 points per game during the regular season to go along with 8.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists, showcasing his ability to not only score but distribute as well, a trait that makes the 6'8" superstar the hands down best player in basketball.

Winning his first NBA title a year ago when Miami took down the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games, LeBron and company currently have a 1-0 lead in their 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers with James averaging a stellar 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists this postseason.
Joining LeBron on the 2012-2013 First Team are Oklahoma City superstar Kevin Durant, Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul, San Antonio Spurs big man Tim Duncan and Los Angeles Lakers phenom Kobe Bryant.
Durant and OKC were eliminated from the playoffs after falling to the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference Semifinals. Despite the early exit, Durant put together another MVP-worthy campaign averaging over 28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists during the regular season, guiding OKC to a 60-win season and the No. 1 overall seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Chris Paul averaged just under 17 points per game this season while dishing out over 9 assists per clip while Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan continued to fill their respective stat sheets, averaging 27 and 17 points per game respectively.
Following a season in which he won the NBA's scoring title, Carmelo Anthony landed on the All-NBA Second Team. His New York's Knicks struggled in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Indiana, ultimately bowing out in six games, but Anthony was strong throughout the course of the year, even playing the final month of the season with a small left shoulder tear.
Along with Anthony, the Second Team features superstars Russell Westbrook of the OKC Thunder, Spurs guard Tony Parker, Clippers power-dunker Blake Griffin and Memphis Grizzlies All-Star Marc Gasol.
