After several weeks of discussions, plans were finalized for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on March 7. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will lead their respective conferences as team captains after receiving the most fan votes.
This marks James’ 17th career All-Star Game selection, as the 37-year-old superstar continues to dominate in all facets. The 18-year veteran is currently averaging 25.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.0 steal in 34.7 minutes per contest.
This selection also marks James’ fourth time being an All-Star Game captain.
