Who made All-Star Team LeBron?

Who did LeBron James select in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game Draft?

With the 2019 NBA All-Star Game just around the corner, teams are finally set as captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo made their selections on Thursday, the first time this draft has been televised.

As the leading vote-getter, LeBron was given the first pick in the draft and for the second straight year, the three-time NBA champ chose Kevin Durant with his first selection, once again putting arguably the two best players of this generation on the same team. His next pick certainly wasn’t a shock either as he chose ex-teammate and renewed bestie Kyrie Irving, whom he also battled on Thursday night in a classic Lakers-Celtics matchup. He finished off his starting five with Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard and reigning MVP James Harden of the Houston Rockets.

LeBron’s first pick of the reserve round was easily the most entertaining segment of the All-Star Game Draft as he used his first pick to select Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans. Davis has obviously been linked to LeBron and the Lakers in numerous trade talks since announcing his desire to leave New Orleans and TNT host Ernie Johnson made sure to ask LeBron if he really wanted Davis as his teammate, which brought a chuckle from James in a great exchange in which Giannis jumped into as well.

James followed up that selection with Klay Thompson, which also wasn’t a surprise as there still is that slight chance that the three-point specialist joins James in L.A. over the summer when he hits free agency. Damian Lillard, Ben Simmons (who came over from Team Giannis in a trade for Russell Westbrook), LaMarcus Aldridge, Karl-Anthony Towns and Bradley Beal will also join Team LeBron in the black jerseys in Charlotte on Sunday, February 17.

There was one final selection for LeBron as he had to choose between Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki, both of whom were added to the All-Star Game players pool for nostalgia’s sake (and deservedly so) recently and to the surprise of nobody, James chose Wade, giving the great friends and former teammates one last time to share the court. Wade would later say that all he wants from the weekend is one more chance to throw LeBron a lob. Fantastic.

Here’s the full roster for Team LeBron.

• LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
• Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors
• Kyrie Irving, Boston Celtics
• Kawhi Leonard, Toronto Raptors
• James Harden, Houston Rockets
