With the All-Star game approaching, all eyes are on LeBron James and Kevin Durant. The two superstars were selected as All-Star captains from their respective conferences. And with the All-Star draft coming up, fans and analysts alike are speculating on the teams of the two captains.

The selection of the All-Stars generated a lot of controversies when it happened. Many felt that Devin Booker, Domantas Sabonis, Mike Conley, and DeMar DeRozan were unfairly snubbed from the All-Star team. Furthermore, the selection of Luka Doncic as a starter over Damian Lillard also upset fans. However, Sabonis and Booker were eventually added to replace injured stars.
