It's about to be decision-making time for West All-star captain Stephen Curry.

Curry has previously said he would first take his teammates if named one of the All-Star captains. But after Kevin Durant, the next name he says may be in an attempt to avoid another embarrassing moment at the hands of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

"I don't know who the reserves are going to be so I gotta pick from the starters. Giannis ... he dunked on me last year. May have to get him on my team so that doesn't happen again," Curry told Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

After making the grave mistake of playing defense in last year's All-Star Game, Curry found himself on the business end of three monstrous dunks by Antentokounmpo.
