Meanwhile in the NBA, LeBron James, a star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, a star player for Milwaukee, will lead the teams in the NBA All-Star Game next month. In the final voting, Philadelphia star Joel Embiid was not selected to start.
With 19 All-Star Game appearances, James will equal Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the man he is on track to surpass as the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
The four-time NBA champion, who is averaging 29.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists this season, has been a captain in each of the six years that the league has used the format of captains selecting their teams from among all available players. He has done so because he received the most votes from his conference.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic are among the Western Conference starters selected alongside James.
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant and teammate Kyrie Irving, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell are the other East starters.
50 percent of the votes came from fans, while 25 percent came from NBA players and 25 percent came from a media panel.
