It also means that for the third time in his career, he will be one of the captains. Along with LeBron James in the Western Conference, Giannis will choose his All-Star teammates from a pool of players selected by fan voters, players, and coaches. The starters for the All-Star Game have already been announced, but the reserve players will not be revealed until February 2.
