The NBA recently released the team rosters for the 2018 NBA All-Star Game. Team captains LeBron James and Stephen Curry chose from a list of superstars to complete their All-Star teams. This is the first year that the NBA has implemented their new All-Star format, abandoning the traditional East V West exhibition match.
Fans voted for the players they wanted to see in the 67th NBA All-Star game, which will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 18th, 2018. James and Curry then drafted teammates from the pool of All-Stars that the fans voted on.
James (Clevland Cavaliers) will reunite with Kyrie Irving (Boston Celtics), while Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors), Anthony Davis (NO Pelicans), and DeMarcus Cousins (NO Pelicans) comprise the rest of the starting roster for Team LeBron. On James' bench will be Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards), LaMarcus Aldridge (SA Spurs), Kevin Love (Clevland Cavaliers), Russel Westbrook (OKC Thunder), Victor Oladipo (Indiana Pacers), Kristaps Porzingis (NY Knicks), and John Wall (Washington Wizards).
Curry (Golden State Warriors) chose James Harden (Houston Rockets), DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), and Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) as his starters. Team Stephen's bench is made up of Damian Lillard (Portland Trailblazers), Jimmy Butler (Minnesota Timberwolves), Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors), Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors), Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors), Karl-Anthony Townes (Minnesota Timberwolves), and Al Horford (Boston Celtics).
Stephen Curry represents the Western Conference, while LeBron James represents the Eastern Conference. Since the match will take place in a Western Conference arena, Curry's team was selected as the home squad. The match will be aired on TNT.
