Voting for the 2018 NBA All-Star Game is in full swing, and to little surprise, LeBon James is the leading vote-getter among both conferences. But James isn't that far ahead of the pack, with Giannis Antetokounmpo lurking close behind.

According to NBA.com, James has 1.62 million votes, while Antetokounmpo has 1.48 million. Both are frontcourt players in the East.

The leading backcourt player in the East is Kyrie Irving. Perhaps the biggest surprise is Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid, who has 784,287 votes.

In the West, Golden State Warriors tandem Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant have 1.37 million and 1.32 million, respectively. No other West player has a million votes. Anthony Davis is second among West frontcourt players but only has 664,687.

An All-Star selection consists of three voting groups: fan votes, player votes and media votes. The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will be played on Feb. 18 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Rosters will be announced on Jan. 25 during TNT NBA Tip-Off at 7 p.m. ET.
