When the NBA revamped the All-Star format and introduced a new draft system, there was a real intrigue about how it would be conducted and the order in which the designated captains would select their teams.

There was a real clamour among some players, media, and fans for the draft to be televised as there was interest around who would be selected first and last.

Ultimately, the league decided to avoid any unneccessary controversy and drama by choosing not to televise it.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry were the leading vote-getter in their respective conferences and were the captains.

Both players picked their teams in private and refused to disclose the order in which they'd chosen them.

Kevin Durant claimed that he was the number one pick, which would make sense as he was taken by LeBron and not by Golden State Warriors teammate Curry.

It was quite clear to everybody that the reigning Finals MVP was the top choice, but what was less than clear-cut was who the last picks were.

That has now finally been revealed as ESPN's Chris Haynes reported that LaMarcus Aldridge and Al Horford were selected with the final picks by LeBron and Steph, respectively.

Speaking to Haynes, Aldridge wasn't surprised to discover that this was the case and wasn't prepared to read too much into it.

"I'm not a flashy player, that's OK," he said. "We're all All-Stars, so, at the end of the day, we should be thankful to be here. Picked first, picked last, it doesn't matter. We're all competitive, too. It won't be the easiest thing to be picked last, but at the end of the day, you're just happy to be here."

The league's decision not to televise the draft was met with disappointment by a lot of people, including James.

Appearing on an episode of ESPN's The Jump this week, commissioner Adam Silver said they may sit down and discuss the possibility of changing it for next year.

"My sense is that already what we've heard certainly from the media, even from the players themselves, I think we can have a lot of fun around the draft, he said.

"So, if things go as we hope they will, I'm sure that will be something we'll sit back down and talk with the union about."

For the time being, the hope is that this year's changes will make the All-Star game more competitive. It'll be interesting to see how things work out on Sunday in Los Angeles.
