Los Angeles Lakers star small forward LeBron James is the best player in the NBA, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that The King leads all players in All-Star votes right now.

LeBron James is the first player to reach 1 million votes and the four-time league MVP is very thankful for it:

In his first season with the Lakers, LeBron James is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. The 34-year-old, who is showing no signs of slowing down, is shooting 51.8 percent from the field, 35.6 percent from beyond the arc and 68.2 percent from the free-throw line.

After not making the All-Star team as a rookie back in 2003 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James has been named an All-Star starter in every single season of his legendary playing career. James has won the All-Star game MVP three times and averages 24.5 points per game during the Sunday event.

LeBron is currently out with the groin strain he suffered on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena. The Lakers are 21-17 on the season, good for seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

James will be healthy by the time the All-Star Game rolls around in February. His powerful dunks are always a sight to see during that exhibition contest.
