EAST:
Atlanta's Trae Young
Boston’s Kemba Walker
Toronto's Pascal Siakam
Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo (captain)
Philadlephia’s Joel Embiid
WEST:
Dallas’ Luka Doncic
Houston’s James Harden
Lakers’ LeBron James (captain)
Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard
Lakers’ Anthony Davis
That isn't surprising. AD plays in the one of the biggest NBA markets so he's going to get more votes.

Heck yeah, AD over Golbert. West starters look the best by far. Fact is, East could be a great bench for the West team.
If you take out the non-US players, bring in a starting PG and bench 3, 4, & 5, you have your Tokyo bound US Dream Team!
Shame that the players don't take this All Stars event seriously. It could be the selection event for Tokyo team with players playing for spots, 1 to 10. Spots 11 & 12 could be winners of 3-point shoot-out and dunk contest. They come on to add the Hollywood that we all expect from Dream Teams. Would be worth seeing.
Re AD over Gobert, its fan voted. Caruso and Tacko Fall were in the top ten in their conferences even though they have no business anywhere near all star weekend
These aren't the teams that will play though. Who has first pick?
AD is better than Gobert.
The west is insanely stronger than the east. It just doesn't get talked about now because Lebron isn’t in the east.

Conference affiliation counts for little anyway. It's all about LeBron v Giannis.
Do coaches still pick their benches?
Fan voting is a farce, Tacko Fall in top 10.

Fan votes or not I'd take AD over Gobert any day and twice on Sunday
Still can't believe the NBA removed Luka from the vote at times to ensure LeBron was a captain...
This game is a waste of time that the players never take seriously in a league that's becoming more and more about flashy scoring rather than good solid fundamental 2 way play which is A LOT more entertaining than the drivel that’s been served up for pretty much the last decade.
So who cares! Rant over lol

This captains picking teams bullshit is ridiculous.
