The Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo and Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James have expanded their conference leads in the second fan returns of NBA All-Star Voting 2019.
This means the Greek Freak has virtually “locked” the captain hood of his team.

In the Eastern Conference, Antetokounmpo (2,670,816) has strengthened his position as the leading vote-getter. The top three players in the East frontcourt are unchanged, with Antetokounmpo joined by the Toronto Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard (2,092,806) in second place and the Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid (1,710,229) in third place.

Fans account for 50 per cent of the vote to determine the 10 starters for the 68th NBA All-Star Game, which will take place at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, February 17.

All current NBA players and a media panel each account for 25 per cent of the vote, with those voters completing one full ballot featuring two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference.
