LeBron James is now engaged in one of the most impressive odd-winning runs in the annals of sports history. Six years ago, the National Basketball Association (NBA) began using an All-Star Draft as an alternative to its traditional East vs. West model. In every one of those six seasons, James has been chosen to serve as a captain. The club that he chose ultimately came out on top in each of the first five games. This year, he will attempt to improve his record to 6-0.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was picked against James and came out on the losing end both in 2019 and 2020, is the only thing standing in his way.''Now, he’s hoping that the third time will be the charm, as'the two captains will soon draw the squads that take the court on Sunday.
James, who received the most votes overall, will have the opportunity to make the first selection for the starting lineup. Upon selecting from reserves, Antetokounmpo will go first.
Let’s take a closer look at who James might take first overall.
