The 2023 NBA All-Star Game takes place on Sunday night at Vivint Center in Salt Lake City and some of the top players in the league will compete in the game.
From Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic to LeBron James and Donovan Mitchell, NBA superstars shared their excitement about playing in the All-Star Game.
“I’m excited,” Dallas Mavericks star guard Luka Doncic said. “But I think the stars go last. So, there’s not going to be a last pick, I think. I appreciate being here. Not a lot of people can say they were an All-Star multiple times, so I’m really excited to be here.”

“We’re here,” Cleveland guard Donovan Mitchell noted. “We’re at the All-Star weekend. It’s an honor just to be here.
Whoever gets picked last, if you get picked last, it’s whatever. You worked hard to be an All-Star and it’s All-Star weekend. We’re not worried about who gets picked last.”
With the All-Star Draft taking place right before the game for the first time ever, All-Stars made it clear that participation in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game overshadows the prospect of becoming one of the last players selected by the captains.
