NBA All-Star Game 2019 Rosters: Full Breakdown Of Both Teams And Biggest Snubs

Most of the NBA’s brightest stars have gathered in Charlotte for the 2019 NBA All-Star Game. The annual mid-season exhibition match will pit superstar players against each other in what figures to be a high-scoring affair.

The NBA All-Star Game traditionally pits teams made up of Eastern Conference and Western Conference stars against each other, but this year is a bit different. Just like last year, two big-name players were named team captains and held a special draft to decide who would be their teammates.

LeBron James heads Team LeBron and he picked a star-studded lineup to play with on Sunday. Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard are just a few of the players James selected in the All-Star draft. Anthony Davis is notably also on his team, even after the trade drama between the LA Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans surrounding Davis.

Team Giannis is not any less impressive. Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry headlines a roster that also includes Russell Westbrook, Joel Embiid and Paul George.

In terms of All-Star snubs, there are a few players around the league who arguably deserved a spot in the game this year. Dallas Mavericks rookie sensation Luka Doncic is averaging more than 20 points and seven rebounds per game, but he did not get in. Neither did Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday, who is putting up 21 points and 7.9 assists per game.

Finally, Eric Bledsoe of the Milwaukee Bucks had a case for inclusion. He is a key part of the Bucks lineup that is at the top of the Eastern Conference right now.

The 2019 NBA All-Star Game is at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday on TBS and TNT.
