The NBA All-Star Game will be held this Sunday, March 7, despite claims by some players who understood that it was not the time for the event to take place. Among them was LeBron James, who was against due to the short rest period between last season and the current season.
The truth is, the All-Star Game is always generating excitement around the world, as well as great economic income for the treasury of an NBA damaged by the blow of the pandemic. For this reason, it will be real and the West and East Conference teams are already there.
The All-Star West team consists of Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, and Nikola JokicMeanwhile, the five initials of the East will be: Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. The rest of the West’s invaders for their part are 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 big absence of the All-Star Game according to LeBron James
As usual in these teams, there are always some important players who have to get out. Among them is Devin Booker, whom LeBron James understands is not being respected the way it should be: “Devin Booker is the most respected player in our league !!! Simple as that “wrote the King of the Los Angeles Lakers on his personal Twitter account.

Even though Booker was not selected, there is still a door that can be opened. Anthony Davis is injured and it is very difficult for him to play in the All-Star Game, so the Phoenix Suns player can compete as his replacement. The same way, there are other important elements that will also be missing, such as Domantas Sabonis, Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Trae Young.
