James has taken an 82,001-vote

captains will be the All-Star starter from each conference who receives the most
fan votes in his conference.
Fans account for 50 percent of
the vote to determine the 10 starters for the 69th NBA All-Star Game which will
take place at the United Center in Chicago on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 8 pm ET on
TNT.
All current NBA players and a
media panel each account for 25 percent of the vote, with every voter
completing one full ballot featuring two guards and three frontcourt players
from each conference. Voting for fans, players and media will conclude on Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 20 at 11:59 pm ET.

The NBA All-Star 2020 team
rosters will be drafted by the two captains.
They will choose from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves
in each conference, making their selections regardless of conference
affiliation.
TNT will reveal the NBA All-Star
Game starters, including the two team captains, on Thursday, Jan. 23 during TNT
NBA Tip-Off presented by Autotrader. The
network will also announce the reserves, as selected by NBA head coaches, on
Thursday, Jan. 30 during TNT NBA Tip-Off.
After all votes are tallied,
players will be ranked in each conference by position (guard and frontcourt)
within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media
votes. Each player’s score will be
calculated by averaging his weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes
and the media votes. The two guards and
three frontcourt players with the best score in each conference will be named
NBA All-Star Game starters. Fan voting
will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same
score.
NBA All-Star Voting presented by
Google began on Dec. 25 and runs until Monday, Jan. 20. The third and final fan voting update will be
shared on Thursday, Jan. 16.
During the voting period, five
2-for-1 Days allow fans to have their votes count twice. The remaining 2-for-1 Days, which are
designated 12 am – 11:59 pm ET take place Jan. 16 and 20 through all voting
platforms. The other 2-for-1 Days were
