NBA All-Star Draft: Every pick for Team LeBron and Team Giannis

Giannis Antetokounmpo was in the middle of the NBA All-Star draft when he delivered a brutal dig at a star before passing on him.

Giannis and LeBron draft their teams

Once again it’s LeBron James going up against Giannis Antetokounmpo as the NBA All-Star Game captains.

The two superstars will go head-to-head in the All-Star Draft where they’ll go pick for pick until they’ve selected their respective twelve man rosters.

James held the first pick after finishing with the most votes for the All-Star Game and took Los Angeles Lakers teammate Anthony Davis.

Antetokoumpo pulled a surprise with the second pick by taking Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid.

James kept the LA vibe going with his team by grabbing Kawhi Leonard and Antetokounmpo kept his world vibe going strong with Pascal Siakam.

The 2020 NBA All-Star Game will be played on Monday, February 17 at 12pm (AEDT).

Ahead of his next selection and with James Harden still on the board, Antetokounmpo delivered a shot at the bearded superstar from the Houston Rockets.

“I’m going to go with somebody who passes the ball,” he said as he chose Boston Celtics’ Kemba Walker.

The teams were assembled but fans watching on couldn’t help but scratch their heads over the team Antetokounmpo had put together.

As James filled his squad out with spacing and three point shooting, Antetokounmpo loaded up on bigs and sub-optimal shooters.

Giannis is the MVP as a player but he's awful at drafting an All-Star team.

Lebron just better than the Greek Freak at this GM thing at this point ... plain and simple... one day Giannis will dominate a young guy like this

Ok so Giannis Antetokounmpo is never going to be a GM... Yikes.

The team Giannis is drafting is not good at all.
