Over to the hardwood, Steph Curry and LeBron James have battled for the NBA title for the last three years, and they meet-up once again. The two superstars have been chosen as captain's for the upcoming All-Star game. The pair garnering the highest number of votes and will serve as leaders in the league's new-look mid-season exhibition set for February 18.

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar James, a four-time NBA MVP, will be making his 14th consecutive All-Star appearance. He was the top vote-getter among fans in the Eastern Conference and overall, garnering more than 2.6 million votes. He will therefore get to choose first when the captains pick their teams from the 10 starters named Thursday and the reserves to be selected by NBA coaches. Golden State Warriors star Curry led the balloting in the Western Conference with over 2.3 million fan votes. The captains can choose players from either conference as the game moves away for the first time from its East versus West format. The new approach adds some intrigue, with James having first dibs, for instance, on Curry's teammate Kevin Durant or his own former teammate Irving. Unfortunately the selection process won't be held in public. NBA coaches will name the reserves Tuesday, and the teams will be announced Thursday, after the captains make their selections.
