On Monday, the NBA released its first fan All-Star voting returns. Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokiu0107 sits second in the West with 1,128,962 votes (behind Luka Donu010diu0107), and third in the league. Jamal Murray deserves to be with Jokiu0107 at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, but he's *check notes* 14th in the West in fan voting with only 130,656 votes.

Fan voting counts for 50 percent of the vote for All-Star starters, with players (25 percent) and a media panel (25 percent) making up the remaining 50 percent. Head coaches pick seven reserve players from each conference, regardless of what position they play.
