On Feb. 18, basketball fans are in for a treat. The Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis will host the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, which will have a new format and where, like each season, the best players in the NBA will come together to give fans one of the best sports exhibitions in the world: unimaginable shots, creative passes and spectacular athleticism.
The NBA released the starting fives for each of the teams. The captains were also announced. As in last year's edition, LeBron James (Western Conference) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (Eastern Conference) will head their respective teams. It should be noted that this is the Los Angeles Lakers star's 20th All-Star Game; a milestone that no one had achieved until now.
