NBA All-Star 2020: LeBron James trolls Anthony Davis

NBA released the results for the NBA All-Star 2020 game which saw LeBron James pip Luka Doncic to become the captain of the Western Conference team for the second year in a row. James earned 6,275,459 fan votes while Doncic had 6,111,735 votes, which just about helped James to earn the rights to pick his team. Reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will serve as the captain of the Eastern Conference team.

Speaking to TNT after the game, LeBron James was asked if he would pick Anthony Davis first in his NBA All-Star 2020 side. However, the 35-year-old opted to take a cheeky route by replying 'I don’t know if I like him like that.'

However, Luka Doncic is also waiting on the wings to be the first pick by his long-time idol, LeBron James. Speaking on his first All-Star selection, Luka Doncic, 20, revealed that it would be amazing he was to be James' first pick. Doncic admitted that he used to wake up at 3 am as a child just to watch LeBron James play.
