As the highest vote-getters in their respective conferences, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James have been named team captains for the second year in a row. This marks James’ 16th All-Star selection, the only players with more are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 19 and Kobe Bryant‘s 18.

NBA fans are already critiquing the teams Giannis and LeBron have put together, because the King’s squad looks straight-up dangerous as it includes Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic, James Harden, and Kawhi Leonard.  The Greek Freak’s starting five includes Joel Embiid, Pascal Siakam, Kemba Walker, Trae Young.

The All-Star events kick off February 14, so in just a few days we’ll see who earns bragging rights and watch the fruitful partnership between Hennessy and the NBA begin.
