    Kevon Looney and Austin Reaves going to have the “i’m just happy to be here vibes” 🤣

  2. Gristle__McThornbody

    Time to hear the old geezers like Chuck say how fan voting is hurting the league.

  3. bullsinbronx

    Halliburton at 8 tells you everything you need to know about a fan vote

  4. lebron_games

    how many years is it gonna take to get them to make the rule that you can’t be captain 2 years in a row like the coaches.

  5. hoennking502

    Looks about right, I would prob vote Zion over Anthony Davis

    Surprised Tatum isn’t in top 3 for forwards but can’t argue with those 3 embiid, Giannis and Durant

  6. ClaymoresRevenge

    Once again I’m frustrated with the way they label DeMar a guard.

  7. KyrieWetUpCurry_

    The fan power of LA/GSW is crazy. Looney and Reaves top 10 at their positions lol.

  8. KaiserKaiba

    Hope AD, Curry, and Zion make it.

    Bron and KD leading their conferences isn’t surprising.

  9. MyLadySansa

    Laker fans vote like madmen. Wish Knicks fans voted like they do

  10. RoostarHead

    Genuinely surprised Tatum is below Embiid

  11. EsotericPotato

    I know it’s the first returns for the fan vote which is basically a popularity contest but Pool, Russ, and Reaves with Fox and Ant not even garnering enough votes to make the list is wild.

  12. hiddenxox

    here’s how Jrue can still win the fan vote:

  13. Conversation_Dapper

    They need to change all star captains . Lebron gets it every year . Should be Luka .

  14. dutchfromsubway

    People really thought ja was gonna be a starter over luka

  15. RapsFanMike

    I think the top 6 for each position in the east is actually pretty accurate just replace harden with Halliburton due to games missed and butler with randle and it’s perfect

  16. 0dias_Chrysalis

    For some reason I’m surprised Giannis is even within 500k of KD

  17. MirandasSarcasm

    Austin Reaves over De’Aaron Fox is a travesty.

  18. AlfredHampton88

    I respect Derrick Rose but cmon how is neither Brunson nor Julius on this list? What more do we have to do?

  19. Aeronova20

    Love to see Paolo on here.

    Kinda odd not to see Bam ngl, considering Jimmy is here too. I get it tho, fan vote is hella weird.

  20. SincereFan

    PAOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LETS GO.

  21. LilBottomText17

    Kinda surprised that Luka is not a captain

  22. FoesiesBtw

    go spida gooo. also i really hope lauri ends up an all star. would suck not to have one after blowing it up and we’re hosting

  23. Thehelloman0

    Wow Trae with 791K votes but Dejounte can’t even get 143K

  24. MediocreJay41

    Sabonis is %1000 getting snubbed this year and I’m livid.

  25. taco_2sdays

    Kpop community literally can’t be stopped lmao

  26. DrunkPirateHunter

    Death, taxes, and LeBron as top vote getter

  27. taco_2sdays

    Kpop community literally can’t be stopped lmao

  28. biggybuffypanda

    We need to revolutionize the All-Star game voting… maybe a jury which nominates players and then the fans can vote them. No Sabonis or Fox in the Top 10 is hella disrespectful

  29. Comprehensive-Pin506

    Sabonis and Fox should be on there

  30. sikontoure

    Zion should be a starter dawg, but that injury is probably going to fuck up his chances

  31. SalahManeFirmino

    10 players in the league with > 2 million votes:

    LeBron, KD, Giannis, Steph, Luka, Jokic(!), Embiid, Tatum, Kyrie, AD

  32. Once again proving fan votes should not be included in this. Especially when this impacts players salaries.

    Also apparently Steve Kerr should be fired because he can’t get a team with 4 all stars into real playoff contention.

    And Steph is the most over rated super star of all time. Guy has only 4 championships while playing with 2-4 all stars every year of his career. What other player has had that kind of advantage. Honestly. Can even consider him top 30 all time based on these votes.

  33. Alex_Sander077

    It’s honestly kinda boring to always have LeBron and KD as the captains.
