#8 2018 All-Star Game MVP - LeBron James
James is currently playing for the LA Lakers after fulfilling his promise to deliver a championship to Cleveland. But overall, his return to the Cavs was overpowered by the GSW as they faced each other in the NBA finals four times and Golden State won three.
Fast forward two years and the Warriors dynasty is yet again dominating the league as they added DeMarcus Cousins to their already stacked roster. On the other hand, James suffered a groin injury which resulted in Lakers slipping from the fourth seed to the 10th seed in a couple of months. There are still 25 games left but the question is can the 34 years old LBJ save the LA Lakers?

In 2018, James made his 14th straight All-Star game and delivered yet another prominent performance to his one of the best seasons in his career. In the end, Team LeBron won the close game against Team Curry with a close margin of mere three points.
LeBron has several great attributes which makes him a great player but the ability to elevate his teammates during the game is probably the best ability he possesses. This game was no different as LeBron has an all-around game at both the sides of the floor as he almost recorded a triple-double in the game.
Match Score - Team LeBron 148:145 Team Stephen
James' Box Score:
Points: 29, Assists: 8, Rebounds: 10
King James also bagged a steal while shooting an astonishing 70.6 percent from the field and 50 percent from the 3 point line.
#9 2019 All-Star Game MVP - Kevin Durant
This year KD is having yet another great regular season and will probably win another NBA championship with the GSW dynasty.
Prior to his decision to leave OKC and join a 73-9 record team to win easy NBA rings, Durant and Westbrook were one of the most iconic duos in the league. Now, Durant has got a reputation of a player who will do anything to win championships.
Recently, in the 2019 All-Star Game MVP, Team Giannis looked totally in control of the game as they had a double-digit lead heading to the second half but in the second half, Durant and Lillard totally overpowered Team Giannis which led to Team LeBron winning the game by 14 points.
Durant's impact in this game was way more than the stats show as we know Team LeBron was down by double digits after the first half but KD's performance was probably a confidence lifter for the whole team.
KD also had an amazing performance at the defensive side of the match as he finished with multiple blocks to seal the game.
Match Score - Team LeBron 178:164 Team Giannis
Kevin Durant - Points: 31, Assists: 2, Rebounds: 7
KD also had a steal and two blocks along with shooting 66.7 percent from the field and the 3 point line.
