This year seems a little different in the NBA. Teams that are just usually average or worse are suddenly the best in the league. The usual super stars haven’t been producing this year for various reasons and it has shown in their teams records. The MVP race doesn’t include names like Bron, KD, Kobe, but instead Steph, Unibrow and the Beard. With that said, Steph Curry has won the overall vote for the NBA All-Star game in NYC next month and he couldn’t be happier. Check out what he said along with the rest of the starting lineups.

The star of the NBA-leading Warriors, Curry ended up with more than 1.5 million votes, more than 42,000 ahead of James, who had a 13,285-vote lead over the sharpshooter at the previous update. James was the leading vote-getter last year, preceded by Kobe Bryant in 2013. Curry, who just two years ago was an All-Star snub, becomes the first Warriors player elected to consecutive starts since Chris Mullin in 1991-92.
“This means a lot; it’s something that I don’t take for granted,” Curry said in a statement. “To have support of fans not only in the Bay Area but across the nation and across the world, supporting not only myself but our team, it means a lot. I want to represent the Warriors the best way I know how, every single game, and will do that proudly in New York thanks to the fans and their votes. Something that’s definitely a dream come true, and to be two times in a row, I’m proud of that.”
Here are the lineups:
East
John Wall
Kyle Lowry
Lebron James
Carmelo Anthony
Pau Gasol
West
Steph Curry
Kobe Bryant
Marc Gasol
Blake Griffin
Anthony Davis
Many names like Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Chris Paul and other stars are currently missing but most will be selected as reserves, although it is possible because they have missed so many games due to injury, that Durant & Russell may not be in the game at all.
