It took a trade, but Paul George and Russell Westbrook will both play for Team Giannis in the All-Star game.
Both teams were set Thursday, in the first ever televised NBA All-Star Draft, when LeBron James proposed a trade to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Was that even allowed?
Why not?
Antetokounmpo said two weeks ago that he wanted to pick both Westbrook and his personal rival Joel Embiid.
“It’s all about love,” he told the media then. “I’m a lover, not a fighter.”
But on Thursday, James selected Westbrook to his team.
