2020-21 NBA All-Star Prediction - Western Conference

Forward - Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard in the 2020 NBA All-Star Game

Kawhi Leonard has evolved into a bonafide superstar. He led the Toronto Raptors to their first-ever NBA title and has won two Finals MVPs. Leonard is also frequently labeled as the best two-way player in the NBA.

He won the 2020 NBA All-Star Game MVP and this will be Kawhi Leonard's 5th All-Star selection. He is the ideal small forward for the starting lineup as no other small forward is capable of putting up similar stats and earning a selection over him in the starting 5.

The LA Clippers have had just 29 All-Star selections in their franchise history and Leonard may be the 30th.

Forward - Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis is certainly going to be a starter in the 2021 NBA All-Star selections. He was the 2017 All-Star Game MVP and broke Wilt Chamberlain's All-Star game record of 42 points after scoring 52 points.

Davis was a candidate for league MVP and 'Defensive Player of the Year' last year and has made the All-NBA first team four times. Playing alongside LeBron James at the Staples Center will certainly put him in the spotlight for an All-Star selection as a starter.

Center - Nikola Jokic

The 25-year-old Serbian center, Nikola Jokic is often regarded as the best passing center in the NBA. He racks up triple-doubles with ease and this will be his 3rd All-Star appearance.

Jokic believes he was snubbed as All-Star game MVP last season and is the obvious choice for a starting center for the All-Star game. Jokic, along with Jamal Murray, led the Denver Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals in the 2020 NBA Playoffs.
