LeBron James has been around a long, long time, which has given many people an opportunity to sum up how incredible he is.

Here’s what the fans have right and wrong so far with their NBA All-Star voting.

The returns from the first round of 2026 NBA All-Star Game voting were released on Monday, and Association watchers had to scroll down a lot further than usual to see where LeBron James ranked.

Kevin Garnett has urged the Los Angeles Lakers fanbase, and NBA fans in general, not to waste an All-Star vote on LeBron James.

“You know, I played in the All-Star Game where the commish added Dirk and D-Wade as, like, legends of the game,” Draymond Green added. “And, like, it was their last one, and they are who they are. They should be. And it’s the same with Bron, like in the games in LA.” The All-Star Voting isn't over and James can still get voted in by the fans.

Lakers stars LeBron James and Luka Dončić put on a show Tuesday night. Los Angeles’ duo put up 30 points apiece as the Lakers won their third straight game with a 111-103 victory over the Pelicans in New Orleans.

With the early fan votes for the 2026 All-Star Game revealed, many are debating whether LeBron James should be a starter for a 22nd consecutive time. The early fan votes say "no," and "All the Smoke" podcast co-host Stephen Jackson agrees with them.
