All-BAL Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from All-BAL First Team)

The All-First Team is an annual Basketball Africa League (BAL) honor bestowed on the best players in the league following every BAL season. The first selections were announced on 4 June 2021 after the inaugural season.[1] Thus far, fifteen players from eight different teams have been named to the all-league team.

In the first three seasons, the league announced just one all-BAL team, however, in 2024 a second-team honor was added.[2]
