Ahead of the All-Star Game this Sunday, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James had an appointment to select their team, like a Draft as we did in schoolyards when forming our crews.
For the first time the All-Star Game Draft did not take place a few days before the match but a few minutes. The opportunity to add a little more salt to a format that is beginning to prove itself, and a new way to show us that the NBAQ is still one step ahead in terms of entertainment.
The teams for this All-Star Game
- Team Giannis : Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, DeMar DeRozan, Pascal Siakam, Bam Adebayo, Domantas Sabonis, Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant, Donovan Mitchell and Lauri Markkanen
- Team LeBron : Anthony Edwards, Jaylen Brown, Paul George, Tyrese Haliburton, Julius Randle, De’Aaron Fox, Jaren Jackson Jr., Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic et Nikola Jokic
Giannis Antetokounmpo who throws himself on Damian Lillard with his first pick before crashing by drafting Ja Morant when he is not available, LeBron James who dances with Kyrie Irving or Nikola Jokic selected last on his birthday ( and who himself chooses to join Team LeBron), quite a few sweet moments during this Draft, but one watchword: fun and good humor.
Now for the highlights!
