LOS ANGELES – The ultimate pick-up game is on, folks.
The NBA announced the all-star rosters Thursday night, teams that were picked by Cleveland’s LeBron James and Golden State’s Stephen Curry who were the top two vote-getters among fans.

The actual voting order was not made public, but we did know in advance that James would have the first pick having received more votes from fans than Curry.
What we do know is that James did in fact select Irving, his former teammate who asked out of Cleveland in the offseason and, let’s be real, is looking pretty damn smart right now for doing so.
In addition to Irving, Team James’ starters include Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.
For Team Curry, the starting five consists of Curry, DeMar DeRozan, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.

Boston’s Al Horford, selected as an All-Star reserve, is also a member of Team Curry.
