Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo is the early leader in fan balloting for the NBA All-Star Game, and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers seems well on his way toward extending his record and getting picked for a 21st time.

Fan voting accounts for 50% of the starting lineup selection, with media and player votes each weighed 25%. Three frontcourt and two backcourt players from each conference make up the starters, with coaches selecting seven reserves — regardless of position — for each team.

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is near the top of the leaderboard for the first All-Star game voting returns.
