In the grand scheme of things, the NBA All-Star Game doesn’t really mean much.
The game is essentially a way to celebrate the league and the best players within it while making money for charity right before the final stretch of the season begins.
However, the games are still very impressive especially when you get to see star players performing at their peak abilities.
And LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is perhaps the most impressive player – and team leader.

After last night’s 163-160 victory at the game, Team LeBron is now 5-0.
It goes to show just how great James is at choosing his teammates – and how inspired they are to be on the floor with him.
Team LeBron All The Way
James has been a team captain five times now and each time his squad has come out on top.
This year, James’ team was in fine form and included some of the best players in the NBA such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, DeMar DeRozan, and Stephen Curry.
Curry was particularly hot-handed on Sunday night, as he broke an All-Star record and sank 16 three-pointers.
James was no slouch either and nailed the final shot of the game, sealing the deal and securing the win.
In fact, if it weren’t for Curry connecting on practically every shot he attempted, James would have likely been the game’s MVP.
Since James is the one in charge of choosing his team, the success of Team LeBron is definitely owed to him.
He knows who will work well together, how to space the floor, and how to compete against the very best in the NBA.
That’s what a true team captain does.
