Named Team Captain of Eastern Conference All-Stars Antetokounmpo was named as a starter in his third consecutive All-Star game in 2019. This accomplishment symbolized his ascension to the top of the list as one of the league’s best players. Antetokounmpo received the most votes in the conference, earning him the right to be named team captain along with LeBron James, who was named team captain for the West. The honor included an opportunity to draft the teammates he wanted to play alongside, which included Stephen Curry who ended up feeding him a brilliant pass for two of Antetokounmpo’s game-high 38 points.

His 38-point effort may not have been enough to win the 2019 NBA All-Star game, but it was enough for Antetokounmpo to be the leading scorer in the game.
