Antetokounmpo has been named an NBA All-Star seven times, compared to James’ 19 appearances.

As frontcourt players, James and Antetokounmpo deserved their votes. Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks are the top guard vote-getters in the East and West, respectively. Next month, Haliburton will have the opportunity to play in front of his home crowd in the All-Star Game.

Just 50% of the data utilized to determine the starting players for the Eastern and Western Conferences will come from fan votes. Twenty-five percent will come from current players, while the remaining twenty-five percent will come from a panel of reporters.

Every fan vote cast on Friday will count as three votes in the NBA’s “3-for-1 Day” campaign. On January 11, the subsequent counting of fan votes will be made public.
