The first round of fan voting for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game has LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo leading in their conferences, with Tyrese Haliburton and the Eastern frontcourt trio of Giannis, Embiid, and Tatum receiving praise for their rightful spots. However, fans are criticized for not recognizing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP-level performance over Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid's deserving lead in votes, De'Aaron Fox's standout season, and the omission of Devin Booker despite his high level of play.
