Stephen Curry Wants To Pick Giannis Antetokounmpo To Not Get Dunked On Again

Last night, the players to start the 2018 All-Star game have been revealed. Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will not only be a starter, but also a team captain, due to him receiving the most fan votes amog all the players in the Western Conference. The two-time MVP was honored and thanked his fans via Twitter.

Once the news broke, Curry told reporters that he wants to draft his teammate Kevin Durant first, if LeBron James, who is the other captain and who’s got the first pick (most fan-votes), doesn’t pick him first. If Durant won’t be there, Curry said that he wants to play with Giannis Antetokounmpo and jokingly explained why:

“Giannis, he dunked on me last year. Maybe I’ll have to get him on my team so that don’t happen again.”

Is there a random guy beyond LeBron or your teammates you'd like to have on your team?
