While the NBA's official awards celebrate on-court brilliance, the league's most insightful voices are also getting their due. The Professional Basketball Writers Association has announced its 2025-26 NBA All-Interview Team, honoring the players who consistently provide the thoughtful, engaging, and colorful commentary that fuels the stories fans love.
Headlining the prestigious first team are two generational talents known for their eloquence as much as their skill: San Antonio's towering phenom Victor Wembanyama and Golden State's iconic sharpshooter Stephen Curry. They are joined by Houston Rockets superstar Kevin Durant, Cleveland's explosive guard Donovan Mitchell, and Boston Celtics cornerstone Jaylen Brown.
This honor goes beyond just showing up for a press conference. It recognizes the athletes who offer genuine insight, personality, and depth, helping to bridge the gap between the game and its global audience. For fans, these are the players whose post-game interviews and media sessions are must-watch content, offering a real window into the mindset of the game's best.
The second team is equally stacked with charismatic stars, featuring Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, Minnesota's electrifying Anthony Edwards, Golden State's vocal leader Draymond Green, Miami's versatile Bam Adebayo, and New York's relentless Josh Hart.
After a long hiatus since the 2003-04 season, the PBWA revived this award last year to highlight a crucial part of the NBA's appeal: its compelling personalities. In a league where storytelling is paramount, these players are essential collaborators, turning standard media obligations into memorable moments that resonate with fans everywhere.
