The event serves as a break for players to just chill out and enjoy a game of basketball without being overly competitive, but that doesn't mean they won't put an effort into the matchup.

One of the most anticipated awards from the All-Star weekend is none other than the All-Star game MVP. The special award is handed out to the player who spectacularly performed the most.

Top players who could win All-Star Game MVP

While NBA stars can just goof around and attempt shots they don't normally execute in a regular game, the MVP award is a reason for them to still take things a bit seriously.

On that note, let's take a look at three players who could win the All-Star game MVP award:

#1 Luka Doncic

Let's be real: Luka Doncic has been phenomenal all season long. While carrying the Dallas Mavericks all by himself before Kyrie Irving arrived, Doncic has also put up some amazing in-game performances.

Coming into the All-Star game, he could show everybody why he's called Luka 'Magic' in the first place. It will be exciting to see the Slovenian superstar break out his fancy moves.

#2 Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid is a superstar capable of winning many accolades in the NBA. He's been on numerous MVP races throughout his career but is yet to win one.

If he can't become a league MVP, maybe he could win the All-Star game MVP. Embiid is having the best season of his career and could go all out come the All-Star weekend and win the MVP.

#3 Giannis Antetokounmpo

Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Clippers

The "Greek Freak" is no stranger to winning gold. He's already an NBA champion, a Finals MVP, a two-time league MVP, and has won the All-Star MVP in 2021.

Given his abilities and the fact that he's also having a monster season this year, Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the favorites to win the All-Star MVP award once again.
