Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently leading the fan balloting for the NBA All-Star Game, which is set to take place in the coming weeks. As the votes continue to roll in, it has become increasingly clear that the Greek Freak is the fans' top choice to start in the annual exhibition game. However, what's making headlines is the fact that two of the biggest names in basketball, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, are not sitting at the top of their respective position's voting leaderboard.
LeBron James, who has been a staple in the NBA All-Star Game for nearly two decades, is currently third among Western Conference frontcourt players. This is a surprising development, considering the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has been playing some of the best basketball of his career, even at the age of 38. Despite this, it appears that the fans are opting for other players to take the court alongside Antetokounmpo.
Stephen Curry, on the other hand, is also third in the Western Conference backcourt voting. The Golden State Warriors point guard has been dealing with injuries throughout the season, which may be a factor in the voting. However, Curry is still widely regarded as one of the best shooters in the game, and his omission from the top two spots is a surprise to many.
As the voting continues, it will be interesting to see if LeBron and Curry can garner enough votes to overtake their counterparts and earn a starting spot in the All-Star Game. If they do, it would be a significant achievement, especially for LeBron, who is seeking to extend his record for most All-Star Game appearances.
The NBA All-Star Game is always a highly anticipated event, with the best players in the league coming together to showcase their skills and compete against each other. This year's game promises to be just as exciting, with a new format and a slew of talented players set to take the court. Whether or not LeBron and Curry are among the starters, they will undoubtedly be major factors in the game, and their presence will only add to the excitement and drama of the event.
In the meantime, fans can continue to cast their votes for their favorite players, with the hope of seeing them take the court in the NBA All-Star Game. As the voting deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see if any other surprises emerge, and which players will ultimately earn the right to call themselves All-Stars.
