The draft is over, and it looks like the Warriors’ two-MVPs will be facing off against each other on February 18.
In the first every All-Star draft, team captain Stephen Curry selected teammates Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, while the other captain, LeBron James, landed Kevin Durant, presumably with the first pick. Here are the full rosters via TNT.

Durant will also be paired up with former teammate, and current rival Russell Westbrook, who will share the backcourt with LeBron’s former teammate Kyrie Irving. Neither Curry nor James would disclose who they selected first in an interview with TNT shortly after the roster announcement. It seems like a safe bet that Durant was picked first, as LeBron had the first pick, and had he not selected KD, one would expect that he would be Curry’s first choice. As for Steph, it wouldn’t be a shocker if he picked Giannis Antetokounmpo first overall, after the Greek Freak dunked on him in last year’s All-Star Game.
Is there a random guy beyond LeBron or your teammates you’d like to have on your team?
