NBA Announces All-Star Starters Pool

The field is beginning to take shape! Today, the league announced the NBA All-Star starters pool:

 

EAST

  • LeBron James (CLE, captain!) 
  • DeMar DeRozan (TOR)
  • Kyrie Irving (BOS)
  • Joel Embiid! (PHI)
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL)

WEST

  • Stephen Curry (GSW, captain!)
  • James Harden (HOU)
  • Kevin Durant (GSW)
  • Anthony Davis (NOP)
  • DeMarcus Cousins (NOP)

The rest of the field will be announced on "Players Only" this Tuesday - and on Thursday, the teams will be finalized.

The format is a bit different this year, with captains LeBron James & Stephen Curry (leading vote getters in each conference) will select from the entire pool of players once the reserves are announced. 

This...should get interesting.
