2021 NBA All-Star Game: Team LeBron vs. Team Kevin Durant Draft Results

On Thursday, Team LeBron and Team Kevin Durant drafted their teams for this year's NBA All-Star Game, which is slated to take place in Atlanta on Sunday.

Team LeBron selected first, choosing two-time All-Star captain and back-to-back MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo as the No. 1 overall pick. Team Giannis lost by just two points in 2020 to Team LeBron.

Team Kevin Durant took Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving as the No. 2 overall pick. Due to a left hamstring strain, Durant will not be playing in the All-Star game. Instead, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum replaced the 11-time All-Star in the starter pool.
