Dramatic late runs by Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors headline the final results of NBA All-Star Balloting 2015 presented by Sprint.
Curry (1,513,324 votes) edged the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James (1,470,483) to become the top overall vote-getter after trailing by 13,285 votes in the most recent balloting update.
Lowry (805,290) rallied from a deficit of more than 100,000 votes at the last balloting update to overtake the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and join the Washington Wizards' John Wall (886,368) in the starting backcourt for the Eastern Conference.
James, the top vote-getter last season, will start his 11th All-Star Game in 12 seasons. He was followed in the overall voting by the New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis (1,369,911), who finished with the most votes among frontcourt players in the Western Conference.
James, who this month became the youngest player in NBA history to reach 24,000 points, is joined in the East frontcourt by the Chicago Bulls' Pau Gasol (974,177), an All-Star for the fifth time, and the New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony (647,005), who earned his eighth All-Star nod.
Curry, who this month became the fastest player in NBA history to hit 1,000 career three-pointers (369 games), is joined in the West backcourt by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant (1,152,402), named an All-Star for the 17th time, second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (19).
Davis and Marc Gasol (795,121) will share the West frontcourt with the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin (700,615), an All-Star for the fifth consecutive season and the only player in the NBA averaging at least 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists this season.
