Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James stretched his overall lead in NBA All-Star Game fan balloting to 149,564 votes over Dallas guard Luka Doncic in returns revealed Thursday. It appears that James and Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo will be captains for next month's 69th NBA All-Star Game on February 16 at Chicago as they were for last year's all-star contest, in which Team LeBron beat Team Giannis 178-164. Five-time NBA Most Valuable Player James led Slovakian star Doncic by only 82,001 votes a week ago but has pulled away to pace the Western Conference with 4,747,887 while Greek star Antetokounmpo leads the East on 4,474,107.
