The NBA All-Star of this year has packed some surprises, and the "draft" for the team selection by LeBron and Giannis got a hilarious one

The All-Star 2023 in Salt Lake has been great so far; on Friday night, team Pau Gasol won in the Rising Stars competition. Saturday night got a former Lakers player Mac McClung winning the dunk contest, and this Sunday, LeBron's team is facing Giannis' team.

But first, the two times got the tricky task of building their "rosters" for the night, and LeBron got some incredible superstars on it, as his starting five lineups included him, Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid, and the two times MVP Nikola Jokic.

The funny thing is that LeBron didn't pick Jokic, but the "Joker" chose which team to play for, as he was in the last two stars to be selected. Jokic didn't want to be previous, and when it was James' time, he quickly started walking towards LeBron's tea, not giving any other choice to the Lakers star than pick him.

It was a hilarious surprise that got the fans laughing, but also made LeBron have a super team for the night, against an also strong team by Giannis Antetkounmpo.

LeBron scored by passing himself via the glass to make a dunk

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James continues to play with a pace that is not usual for a 38-year-old athlete, but he made a spectacular play by hitting the glass to assist himself and make the fantastic dunk.
