In a shock to absolutely nobody, despite the way that LeBron James tried to sell it, Anthony Davis was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 All-Star Draft by Team LeBron.
Joining Davis and James on Team LeBron were the rest of the Western Conference All-Star starters: Dallas’ Luka Doncic, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and Houston’s James Harden.
Joining Team Giannis will he his first two picks Joel Embiid of the Sixers and Pascal Siakam of Raptors, followed by Boston’s Kemba Walker and finally Atlanta’s Trae Young.
With the first pick of the reserves, Giannis Antetokounmpo followed suit with LeBron by picking his teammate Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks. LeBron followed the that selection by picking Portland’s Damian Lillard, who scored 48 points in a win last Friday at the Lakers.
In fact, there were only six players in total who switched conferences among both teams. Utah’s duo of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell join Brandon Ingram on Team Giannis while Jayson Tatum, Ben Simmons and Domantas Sabonis will join West players in Team LeBron.
The All-Star Game is set for Feb. 16 in Anthony Davis’ hometown of Chicago.
