2024 All-Star Starters

2024 All-Star Starters

The NBA All-Star list is always fun. Ten players out of 450 get chosen for the special event. This is a huge endorsement for their resumes as fans, media, and players select who belongs in the game. Nothing is more special than seeing a player win an All-Star MVP, giving people what they want to see. NBA fans dream of seeing their favorite players from different teams playing together! Now, we get to see it for a weekend. This is who got selected from the East and West All-Star teams.

Nikola Jokic: What is there not to say about Nikola Jokic? He is one of the greatest centers in the NBA, and he is the man I give credit to for saving the center position. The two-time MVP and NBA Champion have already solidified themselves as one of the greatest ever. His numbers are crazy, as he's averaging a damn near triple double. 26 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists feel like a NBA 2K stat. There is no debate amongst fans and media that Jokic deserves the All-Star nod.

Kevin Durant: One of the greatest NBA players we have ever seen is Kevin Durant. He is an all-time scorer who can create his shot with ease. I have had the privilege of watching KD from my childhood until now, when I am entering my adult years. He is no stranger to the All-Star game, as he has won All-Star MVP back in 2012 and 19. His 14th All-Star appearance will be something special to watch. This is the last few years of Durant, so watching him make another All-Star team is something I'm happy to see!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: This young gun is one of the best up-and-coming players in the league. I am excited to see what he does in his career going forward. SGA is having a special season this year, leading OKC to a top-three seed. He is up there in consideration for MVP this year. This is his second of many all-star selections, and I am excited to see how his career pans out!

LeBron James: Many consider LeBron James, the kid from Akron, to be the goat. It seems like Bron will never slow down, as he is making his 20th All-Star appearance at the age of 39. That is crazy as hell, thinking about how he has played at an elite level since I was wearing diapers. King has defeated Father Time by continuing to play at a crazy level. I don't know if we will ever see a player like LeBron in this league again. We are witnessing greatness.

Luka Doncic: One of the biggest NBA stars in the NBA since the age of 16 is Luka. He is an absolute beast who can get a triple double on any given night. He is a walking highlight reel when it comes to scoring, and he leaves defenders confused about how to guard him. Luka is going to be the face of the NBA for years to come, as he is making his fifth All-Star appearance. We are seeing a walking legend before our own eyes!

 Tyrese Haliburton: is one of the best young guards in the NBA. It is awesome to see Tyrese becoming an All-Star starter in his hometown. Hali has led the Pacers to unreal heights this season as he has become the franchise player. He is one of the smartest players in the league and one of the best passers. This nod is a huge confidence booster for the young player.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: is one of the greatest power forwards to play the game in the NBA. He has achieved everything in the NBA, from winning a championship to an MVP. and a DPOTY award. The Greek Freak has solidified himself as a Hall of Fame player. At this point, you can't even talk about the All-Star game without bringing up Giannis. He is appearing in his eighth All-Star game.

Jayson Tatum: Jayson Tatum is marking his fifth All-Star appearance. He is one of the greatest forwards in the league. He has been the star of the future since entering the league in 2017. The Celtics have a legend in the making with Tatum, and it shows. There is no doubt that he is a top-ten player in this league and will continue to be one for years to come.

 Damien Lillard: One of the best point guards of the past decade. Dame is one of the most clutch players in the league. When it is Dame time, you know it is over for the opposing team. He is one of the most fun players to watch night in and night out. This appearance is well deserved, as you know Dame will put on a show!

Joel Embiid: Along with Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid has saved the center position. He is one of the greatest centers the league has ever seen, and he can score from anywhere on the court. He has earned himself scoring titles and an MVP. Joel is one of the most charismatic figures in the NBA and gives fans a show that they want to see. He is one of the most dominant big men in the league and has established himself as one of the greats.

 The All-Star weekend is one of the most exciting weekends in the NBA. We watch the best of each conference compete against each other. These past years have been even more special with the team captain concept. We see peers’ true views about each player and watch them choose who they want to team up with. 2024 starters have been on point, but the bench is where the discourse begins. This is a huge endorsement for players by fans, media, and players.
