We are right in the middle of this NBA season, as all 30 teams have played at least 42 games. Besides the transfer deadline approaching, this means the All-Star game is just around the corner and we’re closer to know which stars are going to represent each conference in the big game next Feb. 16 in Chicago.
After several weeks of voting, the beginning of the selection process for February’s marquee game is nearly over. That said, the starters and captains for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game have been introduced to the fans, with some big names leading the ballot.
