More than 60 players from the NBA and G League will be part of the weekend-long showcase.
"You can never take this for granted," said Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks forward who is heading to his seventh All-Star Game."You never know how many times more you're going to be an All-Star. I don't take this for granted. And by the way, thanks for all the fans who voted for me as captain. I don't take that for granted. We have to go there, have fun, enjoy the time with our kids.
"You learn to appreciate those moments," said Mitchell, who had to miss last year's All-Star Game in Cleveland because of an upper respiratory issue."You learn to appreciate those things because they saw me grow up. I was a young kid, just happy to be drafted and then given a role to be one of the leaders on the team early, making the playoffs, having big moments, having struggles, ups and downs. And to grow into who I am today, I'm forever grateful, forever thankful.
For James, it's his 19th trip to an All-Star Game. And this one will be like none other, with the NBA set to pay tribute to earlier this month as the league's career scoring leader with a halftime ceremony on Sunday night.
