James dominated the West in votes cast for the All-Star game, while Antetokounmpo received the most votes overall. The two players lead their conferences in the same year for the fourth time in All-Star history.

This time, they won’t be selecting teams; instead, they’ll be playing with stars from their own conference. After introducing captains in 2018, the NBA returned to an East-West All-Star Game format in 2019.

Player votes contribute for 25% of the vote, media ballots for 25%, and fan ballots for 50% of the vote for All-Star starters. The starting lineups for each conference are determined by tallying the weighted votes of the two guards and three frontcourt players.
