Lebron James is currently leading the Western Conference in All-Star Vote count according to the first partial result with over three million votes, same as Kevin Durant in the Eastern Division. Despite the Lakers struggle this season, James, in his 20th year in the NBA, still provides decent and All-Star numbers. In this NBA All-Star 2023, it looks like the 38 year-old forward will once again provide another entertaining exhibition match where he will lead his team to a victory. Here are the projected starters for Team Lebron:
Guard: Luka Doncic
The Dallas Maverick Superstar currently garnered 2.3 million votes, lagging only behind Stephen Curry. He’s currently averaging 34.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game while leading his team to a 23-17 record and currently sitting fourth place in the West. Last December 28, the Slovenian Phenom made a historical feat after pushing the Mavs to defeat the New York Knicks as he scored 60 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists – a first-ever 60-point and 20-rebound triple-double. Luka Doncic is making a strong case for Most Valuable Player this season.
Guard: Ja Morant
The 2020 Rookie of the Year and the 2022 NBA All-Star is once again tearing up the league as he is currently averaging 27.2 points, six rebounds, and eight assists per game leading the Memphis Grizzlies to0 23-16 record, second in Western Conference. His scoring ability and improved passing skills are the obvious strength of the 23 year-old this season. So, with no any doubt, Morant is also among the popular guards who are currently garnering million votes at the first partial result of the All-Star voting. Lebron will love to take Morant under his wing as a starter for the upcoming 72nd All-Star Game.
Forward: Nikola Jokic
The reigning Two-Time NBA MVP will surely be on the radar of Lebron James. Nikola Jokic is averaging 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 9.5 assists per game, flirting on almost triple-double average. He is leading the Denver Nuggets topping the Western Division with a 26-13 record and on the second-game winning streak. There’s a huge chance that this Serbian Center will team up with Lebron James for the upcoming All-Star game to provide a highly entertaining exhibition game.
Center: Joel Embiid
The 28 year-old Philadelphia Center continued his Star-caliber stats by giving Philadelphia 76ers another chance for the Championship, with his new star teammate James Harden, he is currently averaging 33.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game , an all-around performance lifting the Philadelphia 76ers to 24-15 record and fifth in the Eastern Conference, Lebron James will likely add Embiid to his roster as a form of recruitment to the Cameroonian native to play for Team USA this upcoming World Cup and 2024 Paris Olympics.
