Here's my All Star starting 5 out west:

PG - Luka
SG - Kawhi
SF - LeBron
SF - PG13
Big - AD

James Harden says hi!!!

Call me crazy but I think Luka makes teams better.

If I were building an NBA team I'd chose Luka over Harden. Luka - to ME - has that  "IT" factor.....that rare gene.

James Harden will go down in history as one of the most potent offensive weapons EVER but Luka has - IMO - Magic Johnson / Larry Bird special to him.

Yes but you are discussing All Stars and the starting five are voted in. Because of that, I think Harden gets in. Houston players always seems to get high vote totals since Yao Ming.

Good point, forgot that.

JJ giving DAL a spark.....and I think Kristaps is going to need more time.

[GreenFaith1819]

LAC took DAL completely out of their game...isolated Luka....Kristaps still not quite himself..

Think DAL will be better next time but I take solace in the fact that BOS took LAC to overtime without Hayward.

With the way Luka is being marketed and his international popularity I can't see him getting more votes than Harden

Also factor in that China has LOVED Houston ever since Ming. That has all changed this year. I'm not saying Harden doesn't deserve to be in the ASG, but his vote total may drop a significant amount due to that alone.

''With the way Luka is being marketed and his international popularity I can see him'' being named a team captain, instead of LeBron.

I would argue Giannis is a lock in the East. Really not sure who is gonna get the most votes in the West.

Luka's game is uncannily similar to Harden's right now, and Harden's team is better.

That's fine, for you.

If "I" am building an NBA Team right now Luka Doncic is my starting PG or SG - every day and TWICE on Sundays.

How is Harden's team better? Same record, but Houston lost to Dallas considerably

Props to these New Orleans fans, laying it on Anthony Davis every time he touches the ball, it’s loud.

Lakers could possibly break the 2015-2016 Warriors' 24-game winning streak. And maybe go 73-9 they look unstoppable.

No way.

They've had an easy schedule the last 9 games, it will get tougher and they'll lose some games. But they definitely look like a top line contender and I don't think that changes unless an injury occurs. I did not expect their defense to be this good. Dwight and LBJ surprised me with how well they're contributing on that end.

No way either of those things happen.  They’ve squeaked by a bunch of games this season and there’s no way AD and LeBron play enough games this season to give them a chance at 70 wins.  I see them as getting about 60 wins if they stay healthy
