Not surprising, but still pretty cool to see a Celtic voted in.

It'll be funny when LeBron pointedly doesn't select Kyrie to his team.

Hey, so who will be the first pick in the All-Star draft?

If Curry picks first, will he take Durant?  Or will Giannis get selected first?

Pretty solid crop of starters on both sides.  No real complaints here.

Really wish they would show the draft, though.

I think Lebron has first pick so that all but guarantees Kyrie will be playing for Curry. If I am Lebron I am chosing Durant.

This is why I wish this draft would be televised! It could go in so many insane directions!

Given how much they have embraced the "year long season" nba storylines, how come they aren't?

I don't know if LBJ will take Durant 1st. He may make it a point to not take a Warrior and go with Giannis. Could also see him taking Irving 1st to make a point that way

This new format could be interesting, but I hope the player selections and all that goes with it aren't contrived.

If this new format is about trying to pick a team to win, Lebron wants as little Warriors on Curry's team as possible. Durant is arguably the best or second best player on the planet. You get the best player and keep Curry from having a bunch of his teammates on his team.

OTOH, you could be right because none of these guys want to play competitive basketball so who you choose doesn't matter.
