LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the front-runners to captain the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, the league announced on Thursday.
James leads all players with 4,747,887 votes, but Luka Doncic is right on his heels with 4,598,323. The highest vote getter from the Eastern and Western Conference will be named team captain and given the right to pick their team regardless of conference affiliation.
Antetokounmpo (4,474,107) is virtually guaranteed to be a captain, with two million more votes than second-place Pascal Siakam (2,433,411). James will have to fend off a surging Doncic.
Anthony Davis (4,412,619) is the only other player with more than four million votes.
