The NBA All-Star Game is one of the most iconic events of the basketball season. The 2017 rosters will not disappoint fans with the amount of star players who will be playing in New Orleans.
One of the biggest story lines is Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook reuniting as teammates on the West roster.
Westbrook missed out on making the starting lineup despite averaging a triple-double, but was named to the West squad as a reserve. While Durant is in the starting lineup, the former teammates are likely to share the floor together at some point during the game.
Durant will also be joined by fellow Warriors Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden will join the Warriors duo (Durant and Curry) in the West starting lineup.
LeBron James leads the East team and will be joined by Giannis Antetokounmpo who is one of the most talented young players in the league. DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler round out the starting lineup for the East.
