Giannis Antetokounmpo might not be able to pass up a shot to play with Steph Curry.
When the All-Star Game draft takes place live on Thursday night, Antetokounmpo holds the second pick - LeBron James owns the No. 1 selection - and would not pass on the two-time MVP, especially considering Curry took Antetokounmpo with the top pick in 2018.
"I might pick Steph because he picked me first last year, so I have to return the favor," Antetokounmpo said.
James was the leading vote-getter in the Western Conference and Antetokounmpo led Eastern Conference players. The only other player on the Milwaukee Bucks roster named to the team is Khris Middleton, who Antetokounmpo said would get special attention.
He'll already be playing for his head coach. Mike Budenholzer and the Milwaukee coaching staff will head "Team Giannis" in Charlotte on Feb 17.
"I am going to try to make a team that is going to play hard," Antetokounmpo said. "I think I am going to go with the young players."
