SAN ANTONIO (May 24, 2018) – The NBA today announced that San Antonio Spurs
forward LaMarcus Aldridge has been named to the league’s All-NBA Second
Team. The honor marks his fifth career All-NBA selection. Aldridge also
earned Second Team honors in 2015, while being selected to the Third Team in
2011, 2014 and 2016.
Aldridge is one of just seven players in the league to be named to an All-NBA
team at least five times since 2011, along with Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant,
James Harden, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook.
Selected as an All-Star for the sixth time in his career, Aldridge averaged
23.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.20 blocks in 33.4 minutes while shooting .510
(687-1,347) from the floor and .837 (334-399) from the free throw line during
the 2017-18 season. The 12-year veteran was the only Spur to average at least
12 points while appearing in more than 10 games, making San Antonio the first
team to make the NBA Playoffs with only one player averaging 12-or-more
points since the 1953-54 Minneapolis Lakers (George Mikan).
Aldridge scored double figures in 73 games, leading the team in scoring 59
times. The former Texas Longhorn is one of only five Spurs in franchise
history to lead the team in scoring at least 50 times in a single season,
joining Tim Duncan, George Gervin, Kawhi Leonard and David Robinson.
The Spurs finished the 2017-18 season with a 47-35 record, marking the 21st
consecutive season San Antonio has had a winning record, the longest streak
by any team in NBA history. The Silver and Black reached the playoffs for the
21st straight season, which is tied for the second-best streak in NBA history
and is the longest active streak in the four major U.S. sports.
This marks the 21st consecutive season the Spurs have had a player named to
an All-NBA Team, the league’s longest active streak. A Spur has now been
named to an All-NBA Team 44 times in franchise history, which includes 21
First Team selections, 12 Second Team selections and 11 Third Team
selections. Aldridge is the seventh player in Spurs history to receive
multiple All-NBA selections, along with Duncan, Gervin, Manu Ginobili,
Leonard, Tony Parker and Robinson.
