The 2019 NBA All-Star Game starters were officially announced, and with that, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James remained the top vote-getters in their respective conference and therefore will be team captains.
James, who remains on the mend from a strained groin suffered Christmas Day, was selected to his 15th career All-Star Game. He’s received the honor every season after not appearing in the exhibition contest as a rookie, and this marks a third straight year as the top vote-getter.
It’s also James’ second time serving as a team captain under the new format in as many seasons.
