LeBron James Moves Into Overall All-Star Voting Lead

It could be a Team LeBron vs. Team Giannis rematch in the All-Star Game.

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has passed Dallas' Luka Doncic for the overall and Western Conference lead in fan voting for the Feb. 16 game in Chicago, with about a week and a half left in the race. Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo remains the runaway leader in the Eastern Conference voting.

The game's captains–James and Antetokounmpo held the jobs last year–will be the All-Star starters who receive the most fan votes from his conference. James also was a captain the first time the format was used in 2018, then going up against a team picked by Golden State's Stephen Curry.
