On January 20, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. As the All-Star voting deadline approaches, teams are actively soliciting votes for the team's home-based stars, and the Lakers are no exception, and the Lakers currently have 4 stars selected in the top 10 in the Western Frontcourt and Backcourt voting.
Earlier today, the Lakers again canvassed for James, writing: "You guys know what to do!" The LAKERS made a very good GIF, under "Vote for James", the left side says 2005, and the number on the right continues from 2006 to 2022, which is also the year that James has been selected as an All-Star. Not surprisingly, James will make his 18th All-Star trip this year.
It is worth mentioning that after the Lakers released this tweet, in just 5 hours, the number of retweets of this tweet has exceeded 10,000, which also means that James's votes will soar again!
For comparison, the Warriors' canvassing tweet to Curry earlier today was just three thousand forwards for more than three hours.
In the NBA's official round of All-Star voting results announced not long ago, James surpassed the Nets' Durant and Bucks' alphabet brother to rise to the second place in the league, only behind the Warriors' Curry. Among them, James's vote is 4386392 votes, Curry's vote is 4463426, and the gap between the two is not very large. Considering James's recent outstanding performance and the Lakers' tireless publicity, James is very hopeful that Curry will become the NBA All-Star champion again.
As of today, James has averaged 36.7 minutes per game this season, averaging 28.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.2 blocks, shooting 51.7% from the field and 36.2% from three-point range. He is 4th in the league in playing time and 2nd in the league in points per game. As a 37-year-old veteran, James' performance has been very shocking.
