Kobe Bryant was named All-NBA First Team today, joining Cleveland’s LeBron James, Orlando’s Dwight Howard, Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki and Miami’s Dwyane Wade. Bryant was selected to the team for the fourth consecutive season and the seventh time overall. Among the league’s active players, only San Antonio’s Tim Duncan (nine) and Phoenix’s Shaquille O’Neal (eight) have been selected to the first team more times than Bryant.

In addition, Pau Gasol made the third team.
