All-NBL Team
Basketball award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The All-NBL Team is an annual National Basketball League (NBL) honour bestowed on the best players in the league following every NBL season. The team has been selected in every season since the league's second year in 1980.
The All-NBL Team has previously been chosen with three 'outside' players and two 'inside' players for each team.[1][2] For the 2023–24 season, the league introduced position-less teams, meaning any five players can be selected regardless of what position they play (i.e. guard, forward, centre).[3]
As of the 2025–26 season, the All-NBL First Team and All-NBL Second Team are voted on by head coaches, assistant coaches and captains.[4] If two players are tied in the voting for an All-NBL team spot, a countback will first be conducted, with the position awarded to the player who received the most First-Team votes. Only if the tie still cannot be separated will a panel of experts step in to determine which player receives the award.[5]
Between 1980 and 1983, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) did not feature in the All-NBL Team.[6]
