At the 2018 NBA All Star Game, who was named the game's MVP?

LeBron James was named the MVP of the 2018 NBA All-Star Game. He led Team LeBron to a 148–145 victory over Team Stephen at Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 18, 2018.

James finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. The performance earned him his third All-Star Game MVP award, following wins in 2006 and 2008. He was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers at the time, during his final season with the team before joining the Los Angeles Lakers.

The game was historically different from earlier All-Star contests because the NBA replaced the traditional Eastern Conference versus Western Conference format with teams selected by two captains. James and Stephen Curry were the captains after receiving the most votes in their respective conferences, and James had the first pick.

The new format produced Team LeBron and Team Stephen rather than the usual conference squads. The experiment continued in later seasons with player-selected teams, although the details of the selection process changed. James’s award recognized both his scoring and his all-around contribution in the closely contested game.
