Bucks duo Giannis Antetokounmpo and Doc Rivers combine to lead the Eastern Conference team, with LeBron James – playing in the All-Star Game for a record 20th time, once more than the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – captaining the Western Conference, with Chris Finch on coaching duties.

Paolo Banchero, Scottie Barnes, Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey are about to get their first taste of the NBA All-Star Game, though there's no place for Victor Wembanyama. The young superstar would do well to remember that LeBron missed out on a callup in his rookie season too.

The move back to the usual format means there'll be four 12-minute quarters and no Final Target Score, but regardless, the numbers are always outrageously high, as every player becomes a swaggering, showboating Harlem Globetrotter for the night.

Below, we explain where to watch 2024 NBA All-Star Game live streams from anywhere in the world.
