The players objected to its existence, but the All-Star 2021 that took place tonight (Sunday to Monday) in an abbreviated format provided the goods and gave a show in the best tradition.
In the main event, the constellation that made up LeBron James defeated the team built by Kevin Durant 150: 170, in a fun game full of exciting moves.
After a balanced first quarter, LeBron's team ran away for the break and turned the second half into a long Garbage Time, with LeBron barely playing and contributing.
Leading LeBron was Yannis Antokompo, who looked unstoppable, finished with 35 points including 16 of 16 from the field alongside 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and was crowned MVP of the game.
Damian Lillard with 32 points and Steph Kerry with 28 gave him a fight for the individual title, while Bradley Bill (26), Kyrie Irving (24), Jason Taitum and James Harden (21 each) stand out in Durant's team (who did not play due Injury), which suffered from inferiority in talent compared to LeBron's dream team.
Zion Williamson, who jumped to the top five in Durant's absence, finished with 10 points.
LeBron James settled for 4 points and 4 assists in just 13 minutes.
