Next Sunday, March 7, the NBA All-Star Game will take place, despite the claims of some players who understood that it was not the time for the event to take place. Among them is LeBron James, who was against due to the short rest period between last season and the current one.
The truth is that the All-Star game always generates excitement around the world, as well as excellent economic income for the boxes of an NBA, which is affected by the pandemic blow. For this reason, it will be real and the teams from the Western and Eastern Conference are already there.
The All-Star West team consists of Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James and Nikola Jokic. Meanwhile, the five initials in the East will be: Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. In turn, the rest of the Western substitutes will be Chris Paul, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis. While the Eastern Conference bench will consist of James Harden, Julius Randle, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Zach Lavine, Ben Simmons and Nikola Vucevic.
The great absence of the All-Star game according to LeBron James
As usual in these teams, there are always a few important players who need to come out. Among them is Devin Booker, whom LeBron James understands is not being respected as it should be: “Devin Booker is the most disrespected player in our league !!! Simple as that “wrote the King of the Los Angeles Lakers on his personal Twitter account.

Even if Booker has not been selected, there is still a door that can be opened. Anthony Davis is down injured and struggles to play in the All-Star Game. The same way, there are other important elements that will also be missing, such as Domantas Sabonis, Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Trae Young.
