Steph Curry and LeBron James drafted their respective All-Star Game teams on Thursday, and The King created a group that could best be described as Team Messy. Even though LeBron refused to divulge who his first overall pick was or how the rest of the draft shook out, Team Messy ended up with James's former Cavaliers teammate Kyrie Irving, as well as the former Thunder duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

When asked about picking Irving, James said that he was simply trying to "pick the best available players."

Of course, people are here for the drama that could be headed to Los Angeles next month when LeBron, Kyrie, KD, and Westbrook​ are all on the same team.

Theory: LeBron picked Kyrie cause he knew Kyrie was gonna try to cross the shit out of him anytime they got matched up. LeBron is always two steps ahead.

Drafting Kyrie and reuniting KD and Russ.

LeBron is an all-time great troll, too.
