Earlier today, the NBA's 2021-22 All-Star Game entered the captain selection process. It is worth mentioning that before the selection began, the NBA's various transactions have been completed, Harden was sent to Philadelphia to join Embiid, Simmons, Curry Jr. joined the Nets to join Durant and Irving. This is the premise of this NBA All-Star Game.
According to previous All-Star fan votes, the two captains are Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Earlier today, the two captains made a selection. James has priority in the starting line, James preferred Alphabet Brother and Durant preferred Embiid. James chose Curry twice and Durant chose Morant twice. James chose DeRozan three and Durant three for Tatum. James chose Jokic four times, and Durant's side was Wiggins and Trae Young, because Durant could not play due to injury, so Wiggins and Blowing Young both entered the starting lineup at the same time.
After that, the two captains chose the team's substitute line-up, Durant's selection order is: Booker, Downs, LaVine, Dejuntai Murray, Middleton, Three Goals, Gobert! James' order of substitutions: Doncic, Garland, Paul, Butler, Mitchell, VanVleet, Harden. It is worth mentioning that James Harden was not selected until the last minute, and eventually automatically classified as LeBron James.
In the final moments, James Harden and Rudy Gobert had a two-choice choice, with Durant choosing Rudy Gobert when he had already picked Carl Anthony Downs and Joel Embiid. Previously, Durant also chose the same point guard three goals, LaVine and Murray. Durant said that his team needs some scale to fight against LeBron James and Alphabet Brother, in fact, everyone knows that due to Harden's trade, perhaps Durant also has some dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally did not choose his former teammates.
For Harden's embarrassing situation, many fans also expressed great pity, in the Nets conscientiously played a season and a half, winning the championship is still far away, it is inevitable that the idea of leaving will occur. Durant, who chose to leave the Thunder to join the Warriors, should understand Harden's mood to some extent, the beard is different from Durant and Irving, who already hold the championship, and his goal now is to win a championship trophy in his career.
At this point, the rosters of the two teams in the NBA 2021-22 Cleveland All-Star Game were officially confirmed, and the James team started: James, Alphabet Brother, Curry, DeRozan, Jokic. Substitutes: Doncic, Garland, Paul, Butler, Mitchell, Van Vliet, Harden, Durant starters: Embiid, Morant, Tatum, Wiggins, Trae Young. Substitutes: Booker, Towns, LaVine, Desontay Murray, Middleton, Three Goals, Gobert.
From the point of view of paper strength, LeBron is obviously better, Curry, Jokic and Alphabet Brother are all MVP-level stars, plus James himself, there are four MVP players in their starting lineup, while Durant's side is inferior to LeBron.
