LeBron James Kevin Durant named the captain's for next month's N B a All Star Game.

They will pick their respective teams from the remaining 22 all stars on March 4th.

So, Richard, we only know the starters so far.

But you've got to assume the pool of starters is from which he would draft number one.

Who would you take number one overall if you were LeBron Kyrie.

Irving Kyrie.

Irving, that's you.

Okay, you're talking about you.

Okay?

Cool.

Okay, that's it.

LeBron Kyrie.

Irving can't take Kevin Durant.

Just LeBron James is not taking.

He's taking that guy right there.

Who wears number 30 for the Golden State Warriors.

Step.

I see that because that's not that Kyrie Kyrie and K d you're going to go against each other are gonna go together.

So I think I imagine that you're probably gonna have staff.

I don't know.

To take your honest, he's gonna take you honest.

He's got he's got to take you on it.

He's gonna take you on is because look, Janette's got beef with James Harden.

Stephan Kyrie Been battling against each other.

Obviously the Bron and K d.

Then it's going to go He's gonna take He's gonna take game then then k d is gonna take me This is gonna take, you know, take Luca.

So I'm telling you, I could see it already.

It's going to be an actual, very competitive game because you got to be a but is gonna His first pick is gonna be Steph Curry.

That man is on fire right now.

Like he said, he can't k d So I'm thinking Steph.

And other than that, he might pick his boy Luka because he's an admire of his and, you know, he's a pretty darn good player.

But, you know, there's some about that because you think if you take Luca, how awkward would be to take Luca then later on, get Dave s.

Oh, no, he's taking.

He's taking days, and Katie's thing Katie's gonna take Luca.

Well, look, I e dame is not officially in the pool yet, but we all know he's gonna be an all Star.

So exactly.

Exactly.

There you go.

Plus, if he doesn't take Kyrie, Katie kind of has to take Kyrie first, right?

Just teammate politics.

I think he will regardless.

Okay, he kinda kinda has thio.

So if he chooses anyone except Kyrie, he kind of gets two picks in a row if you're LeBron right.

Yeah, well, ultimately, it's gonna be so fun to watch a game that nobody wants to be at, so this is gonna be exciting for everyone.

But do you guys think?

Look, you have all these guys on the court together, and it's hard to tell, right, Because we've had all star Games that are not competitive, it all, and all these guys on the court together has meant nothing.

But with the new Ellen ending that we experimented with last year, it got super competitive.

And if something does tip these guys over into that competitive vibe, it can't still I know.

I know it's not gonna be like a regular All Star game, But, Richard, you don't think there's any chance that it could get kind of, you know, real there?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

It's 100% there.

One of the things that you know, event You know this.

Hey, we're here.

We might as well win.

So, like, that's gonna be the for most of the year.

That's what's gonna happen once the ball is tipped and guys were running down the court.

You know, you go through or whatever.

I don't wanna be here for a quarter after a while.

It's kind of like, All right, you know, we're here.

Somebody's gonna shoot three in the pain in their face and it's gonna take off now, since they were doing everything just all in one night the three point contest, the dunk contest and the game altogether.

I had been lobbying for them to actually pick the teams right there on the court.

Once again.

Shut down all my good ideas.

Just just shut down by this league.

We'll get to more next.
