NBA All-Star Captains
Draft Players for
Team LeBron and Team Giannis As the two players with the most
All-Star votes, LeBron James and
Giannis Antetokounmpo were selected as
captains for the 2020 NBA All-Star game. The captains drafted from the
league's 22 best players for their
All-Star team rosters. With the first pick, James
selected his Lakers teammate,
Anthony Davis. James followed up by picking reigning
NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers. Luka Dončic, James Harden, Damian Lillard,
Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook were among the superstars to fill out the rest of Team LeBron. Antetokounmpo chose 76ers big man Joel Embiid
with his first pick, followed by Pascal Siakem,
Kemba Walker and Trae Young. Before choosing Kemba Walker over
James Harden, Antetokounmpo joked he
wanted a teammate "who is going to pass." To honor the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter,
Gianna, Team Giannis will wear No. 24
and Team LeBron will wear No. 2,
their respective jersey numbers.
