NBA: Warriors: Kevin Durant doesn’t want to be captain of the All Star Game

Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors does not lead in the All Star Voting of the Western Conference. Instead, team mate Stephen Curry is now ahead. Durant is quite right. The finals MVP is not a friend of the new rule that the captains choose the teams.

“No, I don’t want to do that,”KD said to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. The star doesn’t want to put together his own team.”Someone else can do that. It’s cool to be All Star, but there’s too much going on around it for me. I just want to play my game.”

The new format is cool, it’s something new, something creative and good for the fans. I just want someone else to pick the teams.”

Stephen Curry, on the other hand, has no problem with being the team captain.”Why not? I’d be the first to use the new system,”said Curry,”I’ve always been in the open space before and wanted to be the guy who picks the teams. That meant you had a little something on you back then. That’s pretty cool.

In the west, Curry has a small lead over Durant (1,326,059) with 1,369,658 after the last intermediate result. In the Eastern Conference, LeBron James (1,622,838) is currently ahead by a nose.
