The first round of All-Star fan voting results are in, and they are something else

The NBA released the first round of fan voting results for the All-Star Game, and the status of several players revealed precisely why the league split the vote last year with players and media members. Based solely on the first round of fan voting, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo would serve as captains from the Western and Eastern conferences, respectively, which is entirely appropriate. However, the fan voting, as currently constituted, would also reserve starting spots for Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Luka Doncic over the likes of James Harden, Victor Oladipo and Anthony Davis.
