The first round of votes for the 2020 NBA All-Star game are in and there are two members of the Brooklyn Nets in the mix: Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie.
Despite the fact he’s only played in 11 games for the Nets, Irving is second among all Eastern Conference guards in votes (432,481). He holds a narrow lead over Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (432,431). Both trail Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (443,412).
Spencer Dinwiddie is currently ranked No. 10 among Eastern Conference guards with 94,618 votes.
The overall leading vote-getter and leader among guards is Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic with 1,073,957. Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo leads all Eastern Conference players with 1,073,358 votes.
Former Brooklyn Nets guard D’Angelo Russell is in the top-10 among Western Conference guards at No. 6. The 2019 NBA All-Star, now a member of the Golden State Warriors, has received 122,499 votes.
Players not voted in by fans are eligible to be voted in by the NBA head coaches. Seven reserves from each conference get selected — two guards, three forwards and two “wild cards.”
