Team Lebron takes James Harden with seventh pick

James Harden was the last starter picked by LeBron James for this year's NBA All-Star game, going seventh overall.

Harden, the defending MVP and league's leading scorer, didn't go until the final round of the draft for teams by captains James and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Picking first, LeBron went with Golden State's Kevin Durant. Team Giannis went with Golden State's other star Stephen Curry, who will be making a homecoming of sorts for the game in Charlotte where he played in high school.

Team LeBron then went with James' former teammate in Cleveland, Kyrie Irving. Team Giannis went for size with Joel Embid.
