Lakers’ LeBron James takes Steph Curry top spot in All-Star voting
SAN FRANCISCO — Steph Curry has slipped from his top spot in the All-Star voting.
Latest returns show Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has passed Curry in the West by a significant margin. James closed in on Curry’s 77,034-vote lead and now leads Curry by 808,031 votes in the third round. James has 6,827,449 votes to Curry’s 6,019,418. The top vote-getter in the West and East conference is elected team captain. Fan voting ends on Saturday at 9 p.m. PT and starters are announced Thursday, Jan. 27. If the voting holds, James would represent the West as team captain and Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant — currently out with a sprained knee — would be the East’s captain.
Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins remains in line to be selected a starter, too. With 2,644,571 votes, he sits third in the frontcourt voting behind James and Denver’s Nikola Jokic. Klay Thompson, who had collected a good number of votes before returning from his Achilles and ACL injuries, is inching higher in the ranks. Among guards, he sits behind Curry, Memphis’ Ja Morant and Dallas’ Luka Doncic for fourth with 1,240,781 votes.
