Remember, the all-stars are selected via a draft and no longer have to play on either the Eastern Conference or the Western Conference.
The two all-star captains who will be doing the selecting are Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James.
Tatum joins Kemba Walker on the team. Walker was elected a starter for the game. Tatum is averaging 21.5 ppg this year, entering Thursday.
