Last week we learned the 10 players who would start in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game, as well as the game's two captains. LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead their own squad, and will be joined by Kemba Walker, Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and James Harden.
