As for the game, that Team LeBron starting lineup – with nine career NBA MVP seasons represented, and three or four top ballot guys for 2022’s award – appears way too formidable to lose.
Maybe it’s good to bet against the Lakers’ championship fortunes this season given all the turbulence they have experienced.
Even though James has more important games that await him in the second half of the NBA season, I also suspect that LeBron will be named the game’s MVP.
Finally, if it’s close at the finish, who can stop Steph Curry, LeBron, Giannis and Nikola Jokic? It just makes too much sense, just like LeBron grabbing the MVP award in his return to Cleveland .
I’m pulling for DeMar DeRozan to walk away with the Kobe Bryant Trophy, but more than likely Antetokounmpo wins his second straight All-Star MVP because the man is going to play this game hard like it’s playoff game.
