It must be remembered that shortly before the start of the game in Salt Lake City the captains of each team, i.e., LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, would choose their player in a live televised pregame segment.
The other captain will be former MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, a Milwaukee Bucks personality.
