Cavaliers forward LeBron James has been voted by fans as a starter to the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
James was the second-leading vote-getter with 2,108,831 votes. He trailed only Boston forward Kevin Garnett, who had 2,399,148 votes, the sixth-highest total in history.
“It means a lot to me,” James said in a prepared statement. “I work hard every summer to prepare myself to go out and play the game at a high level like I do every night, and it’s recognized by the fans. The fans recognize the way I play the game and approach the game every night, and I appreciate them for once again voting me as an All-Star starter. It’s going to be exciting.”
