There’s a lot of buzz leading to the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, and the list of starters has finally been unveiled. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are some of the NBA superstars set to take part in the brand-new four-team tournament All-Star Game.

The LA Lakers star LeBron James will extend his All-Star record after being selected for his 21st straight game. He previously served as the All-Star captain in six games between 2018 and 2023, but the NBA eventually abandoned this concept last year and started experimenting with new formats.

The NBA All-Star Game will feature a mini-tournament with four teams in a three-game event, including two semi-finals and the championship. One of the teams taking part in the Game will be the winner of the Rising Stars Challenge.

In addition to James, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Nikola Jokić (Denver Nuggets), and Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns) will represent the Western Conference.

The Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the Eastern Conference, alongside Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers), Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks), and Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics).

The Golden State Warriors will host the 2025 NBA All-Star Game at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California on February 16.

After a short stint with the San Diego Padres, Tanner Scott is getting ready to become a Dodger! One of the best relief pitchers in free agency agreed to a four-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, worth $72 million.

The 30-year-old pitcher will join the Dodgers after signing a four-year deal that includes a $20 million signing bonus and $21 million in deferred payments, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. He’s off of an epic 2024 season, after posting a 1.75 ERA, 2.92 FIP, 10.5 K/9, and reaching his first All-Star Game. 

Tanner Scott kicked off his MLB career as the sixth-round pick with the Baltimore Orioles and established himself as a dominant relief pitcher in recent years. He was named an All-Star for the first time during his time with the Miami Marlins before being traded to the San Diego Padres last summer.

Even before signing Scott, the Dodgers have been one of the most active teams of the offseason, and we’ve seen them sign several epic deals. The defending World Series champions also signed Roki Sasaki, Blake Snell, Michael Conforto, and Hyeseong Kim, in addition to bringing back Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman.

Scott’s deal puts the Dodgers’ luxury tax payroll in the neighborhood of $375 million, about $70 million ahead of the second-placed Philadelphia Phillies.

Being an NBA player has its perks, but it’s not really the kind of job that you can do long-term. Some players manage to stay on top of their game for a decade or two (we’re looking at you, LeBron James), but they all eventually have to hang up their jerseys and call it quits.Some of our favorite NBA players stayed as coaches after their retirement, while others opted for career paths that have nothing to do with basketball. Stick around to catch up with the famous basketball stars who had the most interesting path in life post-NBA.
