Among those who made the cut in the West are Golden State Warriors teammates Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, Houston Rockets guard James Harden, New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis and San Antonio Spurs’ own Kawhi Leonard.
In the East, Lebron James and Kyrie Irving from the Cleveland Cavaliers were locks, Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler, the Toronto Raptors DeMar DeRozan and Milwaukee Bucks beast Giannis Antetokounmpo all made the starters lineup.
