The field is beginning to take shape! Today, the league announced the NBA All-Star starters pool:
EAST
- LeBron James (CLE, captain!)
- DeMar DeRozan (TOR)
- Kyrie Irving (BOS)
- Joel Embiid! (PHI)
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL)
WEST
- Stephen Curry (GSW, captain!)
- James Harden (HOU)
- Kevin Durant (GSW)
- Anthony Davis (NOP)
- DeMarcus Cousins (NOP)
The rest of the field will be announced on "Players Only" this Tuesday - and on Thursday, the teams will be finalized.
The format is a bit different this year, with captains LeBron James & Stephen Curry (leading vote getters in each conference) will select from the entire pool of players once the reserves are announced.
This...should get interesting.
