Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol was named to the All-NBA First Team for the 2014-15 season, the league announced today. This marks the second All-NBA selection of Gasol’s career (Second Team in 2012-13), and he is the first player in franchise history to be recognized on the All-NBA First Team.
This adds to the list of accolades and “firsts” Gasol has garnered over his first seven years with the Grizzlies organization. In addition to being the first player in franchise history to be named to the All-NBA First Team and the first to be named an NBA All-Star starter this season, Gasol also became the first Grizzlies player ever to be named NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2012-13) and selected to the All-NBA Second Team.
