Salt Lake City will host the biggest names in basketball as team captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo battle once again for supremacy with their top-tier line-ups.

This game is likely to be a particularly special one due to LeBron smashing the all-time points scoring record in NBA history. He passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387 career points to his name earlier in February.
