In the early hours of Monday (19/2, 03:00), in Indiana, the All-Star Game that concludes the NBA celebration begins and the East led by Giannis Antetokounmpo will “duel” with the West led by LeBron James – All prehistory from 1951 until… last year!
From 1951 to this day, with the exception of 1999 (due to lockout), once a year, on the same day, at the same time and in the same stadium, its biggest stars NBA they meet, split into two groups and duel each other producing endless amounts of glitter.
Monday mornings (2/19, 03:00) that’s exactly what will happen at her Fieldhouse Indianapolis when the 73ο All-Star Weekend will conclude with the “magical planet” celebration pick: The All-Star Game 2024.
In fact, this year the process returns to its… roots. For the first time since 2017, the NBA has decided that the matchup will be East versus West and not teams made up of the top vote-getters, which once again were Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks (first of all) and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers who followed him. Of course, they will be the captains of their teams, but there will be no mixed rosters. The Easterners will side with the Greek Freak and the Western protagonists will reinforce King James.
Antetokounmpo was the 2021 MVP in Atlanta and this is his only award (of its kind) in all the years he has been playing at All-Star Games, while LeBron has several wins (and losses) and a long history. after all, with 20 appearances he is the leader of all time and three MVP awards have emerged from them. The latter, however, comes from 2018.
Of course, they won’t be playing alone. This is a meeting of superstars and there are many of them in the top league. After all, the East of the coach Doc Riversin addition to Antetokounmpo, she will also have last year’s MVP in her line-up Jason Tatum (Boston Celtics), the host Tyrese Halliburton (Indiana Pacers) and the Damian Lillard (Milwaukee Bucks), Jaylen Brunson (New York Knicks Jaylen), Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers), Bam Antebayo (Miami Heat), Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia Sixers), Paolo Bankero (Orlando Magic). Also them Scotty Barnes (Toronto Raptors) and Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks), who replaced the injured Joel Embiid (Philadelphia Sixers) and Julius Randle (New York Knicks)
For the West, captain LeBron will appear with the coach Chris Finch of the Minnesota Timberwolves on the bench and on the floor with them Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns), Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) and Cy Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder) in the top five, while the alternates were selected Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers), Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves), Paul George (Los Angeles Clippers), Kawhi Leonard (Los Angeles Clippers) and Karl Anthony-Townes (Minnesota Timberwolves).
And after the impressive nails with the winner Mac McClung they stole the show, as did his accurate shots Damian Lillard in the three-point competition. The skills programs were completed and o Stephen Curry with the soul in the… mouth defeat her Sabrina Ionescu against each other, now they turn off the lights and when they turn on, the great celebration will end with the 73ο NBA All-Star Game!
