LeBron James team for the All Star.

Giannis Antetokoumpo was the first player chosen by LeBron James to make his team in the All Star that takes place on the 7th in Atlanta (early morning from Sunday to Monday in Spain).

LeBron's next picks were Stephen Curry (Golden State), Luka Doncic (Dallas) and Nikola Jokic (Denver) as starters.

"I have tried to choose the players that could best complement each other," said LeBron, who for the first time will play alongside Anteto, MVP of the last two seasons and captain of the teams that faced LeBron's in the last two All Star. "There will be some mischief, but it is about playing the game correctly and getting the victory," completed the Lakers star.

Kevin Durant, captain of his team although he will not be able to play due to an injury, chose in this order Kyrie Irving (Nets), Joel Embiid (Sixers), Kawhi Leonard (Clippers), Bradley Beal (Washington) and Jayson Tatum (Celtics) , as headlines.

Tatum will fill Durant's spot in that starting five.

And as a first backup, KD chose his Nets teammate James Harden.

The rest of Durant's chosen reserves are Devin Booker (Phoenix), Zion Williamson (New Orleans), Zach LaVine (Chicago), Julius Randle (Knicks), Nikola Vucevic (Orlando) and Donovan Mitchell (Utah).
