The starting fives for the NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City on February 19 have been revealed.


Selected from the East: Milwaukee forward Cannis Antetokounmpo (captain), Brooklyn forward Kevin Durant, Boston forward Jason Tatum, Cleveland guard Donovan Mitchell and Brooklyn guard Kyrie Irving.


From the West, Lakers forward LeBron James (captain), Denver center Nikola Jokic, New Orleans forward Zion Williamson, Dallas defenseman Luka Doncic and Golden State defenseman Stephen Curry were included.


LeBron James equals Kareem Abdul-Jabbar`s all-star call-up record. This game predicted by questions of nba predictions will be the 19th for a Lakers player, something only a great center has done in history. At the same time, Jabbar was unable to speak at the All-Star Game in 1973. Thus, James can become the first player in history to take a direct part in all 19 meetings.


James was ahead of the rest of the NBA superstars in fan votes.


The players of the starting five were chosen by voting: for 50% votes of fans were taken into account, and another 25% - votes of journalists and basketball players of the league.


The names of the All-Star Game reserves will be announced on February 2. They will be chosen on the basis of a vote held among the coaches of the league.


Immediately before the All-Star Game, the distribution of players between the teams will take place: LeBron James and Cannis Antetokounmpo will pick up squads as captains.
