The NBA announced Thursday the first tally of votes for the All-Star Game to be played in Salt Lake City on February 19, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the first All-Star Game.
It should be remembered that each vote is divided into 50 percent from the public, 25 percent from the NBA players themselves and the remaining 25 percent from the press.

The second tally will be published by the NBA on 12 January, the third on 19 January, the starting players in the game on January 26 and the substitutes on February 2.
LeBron and Durant, momentary captains
If one thing is clear, it is that LeBron James continues to reign supreme in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers player is the highest vote-getter in the Western Conference (3,168,694 votes) and despite the fact that his team is not having a great season, his numbers are still impeccable in a season where he is likely to finish as the league’s all-time leading scorer.

For the Eastern Conference, Kevin Durant will be the captain for the time being, receiving more than three million votes. The Nets forward averaged 29.9 points, 5.5 assists and 6.7 rebounds.
In the voting, it is worth noting the presence of European players among the top spots. On the West side, Luka Doncic appears as the most voted European with more than two million votes despite not being the most popular point guard, an honor given to Steph Curry.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, is second only to Durant in the West, but the Greek is the best-voted European in the league (2,998,327).
