Damian Lillard found out last week that he had made his fourth All-Star team. Now he knows which team he’s suiting up for.
For the second-straight year, the NBA had the top two vote-getters from each conference, in this case, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, draft their teams rather than breaking up the teams by conference. The eight players who received the most votes from fans, players and media earn the right to start the All-Star Game, and thus, are selected first. After that, the draft moves to players who were selected for the midseason exhibition by coaches vote.
