For the first time in NBA history, the all-star game is not between East and West. The two top vote-getters from each conference, LeBron James and Stephen Curry were named team captains and picked their all-star teammates.
Giannis Antetokounmpo will start on Stephen Curry’s team along with James Harden, DeMar DeRozan and Joel Embiid.
Kristaps Porzingis was picked by LeBron James.
The starting five for James’ team are Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and Kyrie Irving.
