In this year's NBA All-Star Game, the U.S. is taking on the World -- or at least its best hoops talent – this Sunday at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. This is your chance to build one of the two U.S. teams that will try to take the top spot in this first-of-its-kind event.

The event will put the NBA's best, from American stars LeBron James and Steph Curry to World talents like Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama, on the same floor.
It's your job here to assemble the team that can pull off a win over the elite international lineup on the other side. As you put your team together, you'll select from three groups of players - Starters, Reserves, and Legends.

You only have eight spots, so choose carefully. Let's get to it.
