Giannis Antetokounmpo just finished a game in Memphis on Thursday night and was being quizzed about LeBron James being his teammate in Sunday's All-Star Game.
That powerhouse starting unit will attempt to help James improve to 4-0 as an All-Star Game captain when the showdown against Team Durant is held Sunday in Atlanta. Of course, having a backcourt of Curry , Doncic as well as pass-happy big man Jokic should provide a lot of opportunities for Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 27.3 points in four All-Star appearances.
Durant is sitting out the contest with a hamstring injury. Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics replaced Durant as a starter and is also on Team Durant. The other starters are Joel Embiid , Kawhi Leonard and NBA-scoring leader Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards.Durant said prior to Wednesday's draft that he didn't prepare for it and was making decisions based on his feel about skills and competitiveness. He had first pick of the reserve pool and passed over Lillard.
"It's a great feeling to be part of the best players in the world. I'm just looking to go out there, stay safe -- first thing -- and just have fun in the best game in basketball."
