Despite the disappointing second-round exit in the postseason, the NBA accolades continue to pour in for the Clippers.

Star point guard Chris Paul has been named to the All-NBA Second Team while forward Blake Griffin and center DeAndre Jordan earned third-team honors, the NBA announced on Thursday.

CP3, playing in all 82 regular-season games for the first time in his career, averaged 19.1 points and 10.2 assists per game. His game-winning shot in Game 7 vs. the Spurs is considered the biggest shot in franchise history.

Griffin, who recorded a trio of triple-doubles during the postseason, put up a team-leading 21.9 ppg, to go along with 7.4 rebounds per game during the regular season.

Jordan, a free agent who the Clippers could sign to a max deal in the offseason, averaged 11.5 ppg (team-leading 71 percent from the field), 10.1 rpg and over two blocks per game.

Paul and Jordan were also named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team on Wednesday.

Paul was joined on the Second Team by Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City, LaMarcus Aldridge of Portland, Pau Gasol of Chicago and DeMarcus Cousins of Sacramento.

Cavs star LeBron James and NBA MVP Stephen Curry of Golden State led the First Team, along with James Harden of Houston, Anthony Davis of New Orleans and Marc Gasol of Memphis. 

The All-NBA Third Team is composed of the Warriors' Klay Thompson, the Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving, and the San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan.
