On the final day of games before the NBA All-Star break, rosters for Sunday's showcase game were finalized in the All-Star Game draft.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and injured Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant were named captains for the event after it was determined they won the fan vote in their respective conferences.

Here's how the draft went down—and what Twitter had to say about it.

The Brooklyn Nets have been an offensive powerhouse since Harden joined them from the Houston Rockets in January, and people have high expectations for the group heading into the All-Star Game since Durant decided to keep them together.

Robin Lundberg @robinlundberg
Durant picking both Kyrie and Harden was the lock of the century. His real squad is a quasi All Star team.

Jaylen Brown is playing in his first All-Star Game, but James is talking like this should have come a long time ago.

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
LeBron James drafts Jaylen Brown by calling him Jaylen "Underappreciated" Brown.

James came out on fire with his starters, but once Durant got going when the time came to fill out his bench, some minds were changed.

Jake Ciely @allinkid
Well, that Durant bench - maybe not https://t.co/5xYW08IpM3

Overall, the NBA's best are truly the ones that got the nod to take the court this weekend—and the payroll of the All-Star Game's participants show it.

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
No salary cap for this All-Star Draft 2020-21 salary per team Team LeBron: $357M Team Durant: $287M 13 out of the 24 players are on a max contract.

In the end, it seemed like Team LeBron had the edge—both with his on-court picks and his drafting technique.

Carrington Harrison @cdotharrison
LeBron’s team might be the best All Star roster we’ve ever seen.

Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless
I like Team KD better but LeBron did a great job announcing his picks. Entertaining and enlightening descriptions of each. Well done, Bron. That's living up to being The Face of the League.

David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
I’d like to see LeBron’s team play one game against any actual great NBA team in history. The ’92 Bulls? The ’17 Dubs? The ’86 Celtics? The ’72 Lakers?

Vinston Painter @big_paint
Looking at Team Lebron 🤔....is there even a reason to watch this game!? It’s obvious who’s going to win! 😂😂 https://t.co/7ZtnCnkKpY

The All-Star Game is slated for Sunday at 8 p.m. in Atlanta.
