2021 NBA All-Star Game: Giannis MVP, Dame hits game winner as Team LeBron wins again

When it comes to picking the best team among the 24 best players in the NBA, LeBron James is undefeated. He added to his perfect record as an All-Star captain on Sunday night in dominant fashion as Team LeBron dominated a Team Durant missing Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid, 170-150.

Team LeBron wasted no opportunity on Sunday, winning the first three quarters of Sunday’s game before reaching the target score in the 4th quarter thanks to a near half-court 3-point shot from Damian Lillard. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the game’s MVP, scoring 35 points and going 16-for-16 from the field, setting a new All-Star Game record for the most attempts without a miss.

Lillard, who was also a contender for MVP, had 32 points and Steph Curry had 28 points. Both players had a great time extending their range from the 3-point line and LeBron was part of the group pushing the two to extend their range.

Team LeBron is now 4-0 since the NBA eliminated the traditional conference format in 2018.
