2018-19 NBA Preview: 2019 All-Star selection predictions

Western Conference Starter Predictions

Guard - Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry celebrating one of his 3 championships

Everyone already knows about Curry. He's arguably the second most famous player in the league behind LeBron James. He's a two-time MVP, the greatest shooter of All-time, and has been the face of a three-time championship winning franchise.

Curry has literally revolutionized basketball with his 3-point shooting, and his team has inspired others to adapt to the small-ball lineup. As of today, he is the best point guard in the league and will be a lock for the game.

Guard - James Harden

The 2017-18 NBA Most Valuable Player

The 2017-18 NBA Most Valuable Player is a lock for being a starter. After being a runner up for the award two years in a row, the beard finally captured it last year when he averaged 30.4 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game.

It's amazing to see Harden's growth from a quality sixth man to potentially achieving his 7th All-Star selection.

Forward - LeBron James

King LA-bron

Can you imagine if the NBA still did the East vs West format? It would be one of the most one sided NBA related games of All-time. The West's potential starters would include 4 former MVPs and an MVP candidate.

Good thing the NBA changed the format or fans would witness a runaway game before tipoff. He's the 'King' and he's still the best player in the league at 33 years old. He will most likely be named an All-Star captain for the second year in a row.

Forward - Kevin Durant

Iguodala recently called him the most talented scorer in NBA history

Call him a snake, call him sensitive, call him whatever you want. Whatever you say, Durant is still the second best player in the league and the best scorer the league has seen in recent memory.

He's spent the last season working on all the minor things in the game to develop a more two-way game, if he continues that trend then he could get closer to LeBron's status...

Centre - Anthony Davis

Can he lead the Pelicans again into the playoffs

He's the best big man in the league. After DeMarcus Cousins went down last year, Anthony Davis took his game to a new level with a few 40+ point and 15+ rebound games. That's absolutely insane.

He was able to lead the Pelicans to the playoffs where they were able to sweep the higher seed TrailBlazers. Unfortunately the Pelicans are on the bubble for making the playoffs next year, with the West getting stronger. This won't stop Anthony Davis from becoming an All-Star though.
