Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone led Team LeBron to a 178-164 comeback victory against Team Giannis in the 68th Annual NBA All-Star Game at Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
Malone’s squad, handpicked by Lakers forward LeBron, the game’s leading vote-getter featured a starting lineup that included superstars James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. They bested a unit that trotted out captain Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Kemba Walker, Paul George and Joel Embiid.
Nuggets center Nikola Jokiu0107 also participated in the festivities for the first time in his career.
A reserve in the annual exhibition, which features the league’s top talent, the 7-foot Serbian put up most of his numbers early, scoring all six of his points and adding four rebounds to help his squad built a 16-point first-quarter lead.
