NEW YORK, (Reuters) – Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James continued to pile up NBA awards, adding a first team all-star selection yesterday to the most valuable player honours he claimed last week.
James, who also picked up an Olympic gold medal in Beijing and has his Cavaliers closing in on an NBA title after sweeping through their first two series, was a unanimous selection earning first team honours for the second consecutive year.
Joining James are Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat.
James, who guided the Cavaliers to a franchise-best 66-16 record, finished the regular season ranked second in scoring (28.4 points per game), eighth in steals (1.69) and 10th in assists (7.2).
