LeBron James Named 2018 NBA All-Star Starter and Team Captain
SET TO MAKE NBA-RECORD 14TH CONSECUTIVE ALL-STAR START; LED ALL NBA PLAYERS WITH 2,638,294 FAN VOTES
James (2,638,294) finished first among all NBA players in fan voting, earning him a spot as a team captain by being the top vote-getter in the East. James and Golden State’s Stephen Curry (2,379,494), who finished first in the Western Conference in fan voting, will choose the team rosters from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves. The All-Star teams will still feature 12 players from each conference, but the captains will select the team rosters without regard for conference affiliation. Each captain’s first four selections must come from the pool of eight remaining starters. As the top overall finisher in fan voting, James will make the first pick.

LeBron James passes Steph Curry as top jersey seller in China
LeBron James reclaimed his kingdom in China from Stephen Curry -- arguably the most popular current NBA star in China -- in terms of jersey sales, according to the latest NBA China jersey and merchandise sales for the 2017-18 season.
Curry, whose Golden State Warriors reclaimed the Larry O'Brien Trophy over James and the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, had China's best-selling jersey a year ago.
Behind James and Curry this year were the Houston Rockets' James Harden (No. 3), the Warriors' Kevin Durant (No. 4) and the Boston Celtics' Kyrie Irving (No. 5).
While James, Curry and Durant are likewise top five in the latest release of jersey sales in the U.S., Harden (No. 10 in U.S.) and Irving (No. 12) found themselves more welcomed in China, thanks to the Rockets' long-lasting popularity stemming from Yao Ming and the immense attention surrounding the Celtics this season.
Kobe Bryant, who retired at the end of the 2015-16 season, finally dropped from the top ranks of jersey sales in China. Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers were No. 1 on jersey and team merchandise lists at the beginning of 2017 and fell only to No. 2 by the end of last season. The retired Lakers legend has often been acknowledged as the most popular NBA player in China, but he wasn't in the top five this time. Los Angeles rookie Lonzo Ball (No. 11 in U.S.) is the Lakers' next best hope among Chinese fans.
