All-National Basketball League (United States) Team

The All-National Basketball League Team was an annual National Basketball League (NBL) honor bestowed upon the best players in the United States league following the NBL season. The team was selected every season of the league's existence, from 1937–38 through 1948–49.

Nine players earned at least four total selections, three of whom have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame – Bobby McDermott (1988), Buddy Jeannette (1994), and Al Cervi (1985). In addition to them, six other players who had earned three or less All-NBL First Team and/or Second Team honors have also entered the Basketball Hall of Fame as well, although two players did so with the honor of making it as a head coach later in their careers either instead of or alongside their time spent as players – John Wooden (once in 1960 as a player and again in 1973 as a head coach for college basketball), Red Holzman (1986 as a head coach in the NBA), Bob Davies (1970), Arnie Risen (1998), George Mikan (1959), and Jim Pollard (1978).
