The “last pick” of Sunday night’s All-Star Draft will be a starter.
The NBA has changed the format of Sunday’s draft, and LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo - the captains - will make their picks from the pool of reserve players first.
The 2018 draft was not shown publicly. The 2019 draft had Bradley Beal as the last pick among reserves, not including Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki - who were added to the game by Commissioner Adam Silver to commemorate their final seasons. Each celebrity team included a WNBA All-Star. Phoenix Mercury guard Diamond DeShields played for Team Ryan. Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale played for Team Dwyane. Other notable athletes participating included former NFL player Calvin Johnson and former MLB player Albert Pujols.
Smith said the funds raised on Friday would benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute on the University of Utah campus.Houston’s Jabari Smith Jr. was asked if Michael Jordan - who turned 60 on Friday - could compete if they were were to play 1-on-1 now.“He’s not beating me right now. If a 60-year-old is hooping on me, I need to hang it up,” Smith said. He then added, “Happy Birthday, MJ!”New Orleans guard Jose Alvarado is listed at 6 feet, which might be a tiny bit generous.
