Charlotte, N. C. — LeBron James once again carried out the trade in the frontal aisles with Duane Wade, in the final time. Catching sends from Kyrie Irving again. And doing a rollback 3-pointer at the end, he looked down Joel Embiid, in order to send a message without any text.

It made sense for both James and LeBron's team.

Team LeBron fell to 20 in the second half, in the end, had a gunfight and continued to beat the team of Giannis 178-164 in this Irge All-Star Sunday evening. MVP Kevin Durant scored 31 points for team LeBron, the one James came up with and led to a win in the season 2 captain Selection format in order.

"You put me on the floor, I prefer to compete," James said in the interview room afterwards of the game. "I am a rival, in fact whatever it was. I was vying to see if I would have been able to get this food in the first place."

He didn't. He then turned to NBA adept Mark Broussard, asked if he was the first player to enter the room, and smiled when he was told that he was actually there.

Klay Thompson scored 20 points, and James and kawhi Leonard-19 for the favorites.

"It's all pretty to me," Durant later stated of getting his own 2 all - Star MVP merits in order to go with the one he claimed in 2012. "It is not easy to assess, due to the fact that everything is special. But it's great to be there with some of the best players to ever play the game. And winning an MVP in front of my family and buddies is cute enough."

Giannis was doing WORK tonight!
