All-Star Game Rosters for Team LeBron and Team Giannis Revealed
By Jerry Trotta
The new tradition of NBA All-Star Game captains drafting their respective teams on live television continued this season, and LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo have just concluded finalizing their rosters.
The draft was aired on TNT's "NBA Tip-Off" on Thursday night prior to a nationally-televised Eastern Conference clash between the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.
LeBron had the first pick and predictably selected Lakers teammate Anthony Davis while Giannis countered with Sixers center Joel Embiid. Let's see how the rest of the teams panned out.

Ironically enough, the starting lineups will resemble the old school East vs West format. Something tells us that was planned, but who knows.
Anyway, things were shaken up in the reserve rounds. The Greek Freak had the first pick here and exemplified his loyalty to the Bucks by selecting teammate Khris Middleton.
The King responded by taking Damian Lillard, arguably the hottest player in the Association over the last two weeks.

It's fair to say that both teams are loaded with talent, and we cannot wait to see them compete in the ASG's tweaked format on Feb. 16.
