2023 NBA All-Star Game Mock Draft: Predicting how LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo fill out their rosters
CBSN
LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the All-Star captains
LeBron James is currently on one of the great random streaks in the history of sports. The NBA introduced an All-Star Draft as an alternative to its old East vs. West format six years ago. James has been elected a captain in each of those six seasons. In the first five, the team he drafted ultimately won the game. This season, he'll look to move to 6-0. Team James Team Antetokounmpo Kyrie Irving (starter) Ja Morant (starter) Donovan Mitchell (starter) Luka Doncic (starter) LeBron James (starter) Giannis Antetokounmpo (starter) Jayson Tatum (starter) Nikola Jokic (starter) Lauri Markkanen (starter) Joel Embiid (starter) Bam Adebayo Jrue Holiday Damian Lillard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Anthony Edwards Paul George Jaren Jackson Jr. Pascal Siakam Tyrese Haliburton DeMar DeRozan Domantas Sabonis De'Aaron Fox Jaylen Brown Julius Randle
Standing in his way is Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who drafted against James and lost in both 2019 and 2020. Now he's hoping the third time will be the charm, so in order to attempt to predict how the two captains who act when All-Star Sunday arrives, CBS Sports is holding a mock All-Star Draft.
Representing James will be resident Lakers expert Sam Quinn, and representing Antetokounmpo will be Milwaukee maven Jack Maloney. James, as the leading overall vote-getter, will pick first on the starters. Antetokounmpo will pick first with reserves. Without further ado, let's dive in.
