Captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo picked their teams for the 2019 All-Star Game and then explained their selections.
James and Antetokounmpo appeared on the NBA All-Star Draft Show to select their squad for the showpiece game, which takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina in the early hours (1am) of Monday, February 18, live on Sky Sports Arena.
Questions abounded before the Draft began? Who would LeBron choose with his first pick. Would he target former team-mate Kyrie Irving and Lakers trade target Anthony Davis? Would the 'Greek Freak' favour international players over American superstars.

Speaking after the Draft, LeBron told TNT's Inside The NBA pundits he had prioritised shooting when selecting his roster: "Our game is all about shooting and pick-and-roll right now. We've got a good team with a lot of shooters and ball-handlers. We've got to keep [Giannis'] guys off the glass though, they have a lot of size.
"We'll look to keep it close for the first three quarters then when it gets to 'money time' I want to see myself in there with the guys who are playing well."
Antetokounmpo then revealed his draft strategy. He said: "I've picked guys I think will play hard who fit mine and coach (Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer) Bud's game plan. Guys that play our way."
Asked about his excitement ahead of the All-Star Weekend, James said: "This is the best part of the year. We can all come together and be All-Stars and enjoy the weekend. All-Star Weekend is always a treat and I'm looking forward to it."
