James, with 2,516,049 total votes, garnered the second-highest total in history and was the leading vote-getter, edging out Houston Rockets center Yao Ming. He is the first player in team history to lead the league in votes received.
“It’s always special to be part of All-Star Weekend,” James said. “I think the number one reason is because the fans vote you in. It’s the one opportunity in the NBA season where the fans can bring all the best players to one venue. It makes it a little more special that it’s in Las Vegas. Being the leading vote-getter is something I’ve never dreamed of. It’s kind of unbelievable.”
