The East will be led by Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo. The other four starters are Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers), Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), and Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets).

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will be joined by Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks), Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), and Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans).

Some noteworthy names missing out caused massive outrage on social media. Joel Embiid not making the cut as the starter was one of the talking points. He missed out on the East frontcourt, while Jaylen Brown narrowly lost out on the backcourt. The same at the other end where Ja Morant and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed making the starters despite their brilliant season.
