LeBron James has made the All-Star team 14 years in a row entering this season and The King will be in the world's greatest pickup game for a 15th consecutive season this year. Giannis Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, will be playing in his third straight All-Star game.
Both James and Antetokounmpo are putting up monster numbers for their respective teams. LeBron is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists for the Lakers, and Antetokounmpo is putting up 26.4 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists for the Bucks.
Just like last season, there will be two captains who will draft players for their team. LeBron James and Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry were the captains last year. This season, it looks like it's going to be James and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Curry is the leading vote-getter for Western Conference guards. Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose is still in second place and well on his way to making his first All-Star team since 2012.
Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic is behind LeBron James in frontcourt voting. Detroit Pistons power forward Blake Griffin was the last rookie to play in the All-Star game.
