The first fan returns for the upcoming All-Star Game weren’t exactly promising for the Thunder as there were no players from Oklahoma City in the Top-10 in either the Frontcourt or the Guards.
Plenty of former players that have come through OKC made the list.
Both Russell Westbrook (189,005) and Paul George (280,984) made the Top-5 in their respective position groups. Westbrook is at the No. 5 guard spot in the Western Conference while George landed at No. 4 in the frontcourt.
Other former Thunder players making the list are James Harden (No. 2 Western Conference guards – 749,080), Carmelo Anthony (No. 8 Western Conference frontcourt – 142,292), Alex Caruso (No. 8 Western Conference guards – 92,233), and Domantas Sabonis (No. 10 Eastern Conference frontcourt – 67,482).
Fan votes make up 50% of the vote when it comes to determining the 10 starters for the All-Star Game.
Good news for Oklahoma City, media and player votes make up the other half.
During the voting period, there are five “2-for-1 Days” that allow fans to have their votes counted twice.
The second of those is today, Jan. 3 until 11:59 p.m. ET.
The others are Jan. 10, Jan. 16, and Jan. 20.
Fans can cast their votes at www.vote.NBA.com, the NBA App or through Google.
Voting is open until 11: 59 pm ET on Jan. 20.
