LeBron James Open To switching Captains For The 2019 All-Star Game


LeBron James celebrates as the buzzer expires on the 2018 NBA All-Star game on Sunday
LeBron James said he enjoyed the new revised NBA All-Star game format designed to make the game more competitive and a departure from the traditional Eastern vs Western conference clashes but would be open to switching team captains for the 2019 showpiece in Charlotte. 

James was named a team captain for Sunday's game in Los Angeles with Golden State Warriors' star Stephen Curry chosen to lead his opponents.
'I'm not against it, that's for sure,' James said. 'I had a heck of a time doing it in the conference call with Stephen [when they were selecting the teams]. 
'We're going to try to figure out ways we can continue to get better and better. But if we decided that, just like the coaches, you can't be a coach of a team no matter if your team is No 1 the East or the West every year, they offset it every year.' 
'So it would be great to see somebody else next year if they wanted to do that format or they wanted to keep it the same with the two top vote-getters. 
'Either or works for me. I've just got to play some good ball in the first half of the season next year to make sure I'm in Charlotte.
