For the fourth time, Giannis Antetokounbo will participate in the All Star Game of the NBA and for the second consecutive time as team leader! The "Greek Freak" was the first to vote in the East and will be able to choose the teammates of the independent region in a few days.
From the West now, the first to vote was LeBron James, who will be the leader of John's rival team. The "King" will also be able to choose his teammates either from the East or from the West, since the All Star Game is no longer as it used to be, ie East vs. West.
As for the other starters now, from the East are Shiakam (1st participation), Ebid (3rd participation), Walker (4th participation), Yang (1st participation). From the West now, in addition to LeBron, starters in the All Star Game will be Davis (7th participation), Leonard (4th participation), Doncic (1st participation) and Harden (8th participation).

It is reminded that the 8 starters can be selected either by Giannis or by LeBron, regardless of whether they belong to the West or the East. The choice of the two will be made on February 6 in a live broadcast, when the two teams of the All Star Game 2020 will be known in detail.
