LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers made history when he was named to the All-NBA Team for the 16th time Wednesday.

James was unanimously named to the All-NBA First Team this season along with Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks in voting among a panel of sportswriters.

The Lakers superstar surpassed  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan, who all have 15.

James has 13 First Team selections, two to the Second Team, and one to the Third Team.

Antetokounmpo now has four All-NBA selections, including two to the First Team.

Joining James and Antetokounmpo in the All-NBA First Team are Houston Rockets guard James Harden, Lakers forward Anthony Davis, and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic.

NBA draft moved to Nov. 18

The NBA has moved the NBA Draft to Nov. 18, also pushing back the start of the free agent signing period and the start of the next season in early December.

"The revised date allows additional time to conduct the 2020 pre-draft process, gather more information about the potential start date for the 2020-21 season, and advance conversations between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association regarding related Collective Bargaining Agreement matters," the NBA said.

The league said the Nov. 18 draft date "remains subject to change as circumstances warrant."
