2021 NBA All-Star Game starters

LeBron James and Kevin Durant were named the captains for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game on Thursday night.

You know the NBA season has truly begun once the All-Stars are announced.

The NBA All-Star captains and starters were announced tonight on TNT before the tip-off of Raptors-Bucks as the All-Star Game approaches on March 7th in Atlanta.

Adam Silver and the NBA have received major pushback on the idea, with several superstar players publicly questioning if having the All-Star Game is the right thing to do amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Silver spoke to those concerns today on ESPN’s The Jump.

The All-Star captains, one from each conference, will select their teams from the remaining All-Star reserves, in the All-Star Draft on March 4th on TNT.
