All-Star team rosters revealed; Lebron picks Kyrie

[Roy H.]

James drafted DeMarcus Cousins (New Orleans Pelicans), Anthony Davis (New Orleans), Kevin Durant (Golden State) and Kyrie Irving (Boston Celtics) to join him in the starting lineup. 

To complete Team LeBron, James selected LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs), Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards), Kevin Love (Cleveland), Victor Oladipo (Indiana Pacers), Kristaps Porzingis (New York Knicks), John Wall (Washington) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder) as reserves.

Curry will start on Team Stephen alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors), Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) and James Harden (Houston Rockets). 

For reserves, Curry chose Jimmy Butler (Minnesota Timberwolves), Draymond Green (Golden State), Al Horford (Boston), Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers), Kyle Lowry (Toronto), Klay Thompson (Golden State) and Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota).

Lebron’s team seems way better to me.

Without a question. That starting five is bonkers. Steph has a more balanced team. Overall I think LeBron has more talent.

LeBron's team by 100. 5 basically unguardable starters, with Westbrook off the bench with Wall.

Wow! Team Lebron is crazy stacked !!

[jpotter33]

Kyrie will be throwing oops for days!

Hopefully the players take this game more seriously this year.

Not surprised James picked Kyrie. Easy PR move to initiate a public burying of the hatchet.

I like this idea to make the ASG more interesting, although I don't expect it to impact the effort level of the game at all.

[Who]

LeBron's team has got a lot of big men. A lot of PGs / combo guards too. Few wings.

LeBron trying to guarantee himself minutes to go for MVP ??

[Phantom255x]

Either way, we'll have a winner with Irving on Team LBJ and Horford on Team Curry

Hoping the voting will leak, but my guess how the voting went, assuming an alternating order, with LeBron also getting 1st pick of the reserves:

Starters:
LeBron: Durant
Curry: Harden
L: Davis
C: Giannis
L: Cousins
C: Embiid
L: Irving
C: DeRozan

Reserves:
L: Westbrook
C: Draymond
L: Love
C: Klay
L: Porzingis
C: Lillard
L: Wall
C: Towns
L: Oladipo
C: Butler
L: Beal
C: Lowry
L: Aldridge
C: Horford

How many more wings do you need when you have Lebron and Durant on the same team?

[hpantazo]

So was Kyrie Lebrons first pick?

First pick?

So was Kyrie Lebrons first pick?

No, Durant surely went first.

[Monkhouse]

No, Durant surely went first.

That's what I thought he meant. Other than Giannis or Harden, who else do you take? AD over KD?

[Donoghus]

Like Lebron's starters better, like Steph's reserves more. 

That being said, it sure seems like Lebron has the better team.
