Team LeBron vs. Team Stephen in 67th NBA All-Star



Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James will play together with Golden State Warriors stalwart Kevin Durant and former teammate Kyrie Irving of Boston in next month's NBA All-Star Game.  James, who recently became only the seventh player in NBA history to pass 30,000 points, is the captain of a strong starting line-up against Stephen Curry's team selection.   With  Durant and Irving, James will be joined by New Orleans' formidable duo of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.

The reserves are LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs), Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards), Kevin Love (Cleveland), Victor Oladipo (Indiana Pacers), Kristaps Porzingis (New York Knicks), John Wall    (Washington) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder). Thunder forward Paul George is replacing injured Pelicans big man DeMarcus Cousins after rupturing his left Achilles tendon on Friday.

Team Stephen Curry will parade Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia's Joel Embiid and James Harden of the Houston Rockets.  Curry's reserves include Jimmy Butler of the Minnesota Timberwolves,  Al Horford (Boston), Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers), Kyle Lowry (Toronto), Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota) and Golden State team-mates Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.

The 67th NBA All-Star Game will be cpntested at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 18.  The format for the All-Star game was revised this year, with the two players gettting the most votes, James and Curry, chosen as captains.  They then picked their own team-mates by taking turns from a pool of players selected as starters and reserves, regardless of the conference where they belong.
