The top 5 teams and their captains have been announced in the NBA 2023 All-Star Game. LeBron James, who wore the Los Angeles Lakers jersey in the Western Conference, who completed the audience voting at the top, and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference will take the field as the captains of their teams in the 2023 All-Star Game.
The Lakers star James, who is expected to break the record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the top scorer in NBA history this season, was selected to the NBA All-Star for the 19th time and shared the record of his opponent in this field. Although Abdul-Jabbar was selected as an all-star, he did not play in the game in 1973. If James takes part in the match, he will also become the player with the most all-star appearances.
The captains will draft their own roster just before the All-Star game. The substitutes for the all-star match, which will be determined by the head coaches of the teams in the NBA, will be announced on February 3.
The 72nd NBA All-Star Game will be played on February 20 at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, USA.
The top 5 players in the teams are as follows:
Eastern Conference
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers), Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets).
Western Conference
LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks).
