NBA All-Star voting has been going on for weeks now and is rapidly approaching its end. People are running out of time to play their part in their favorite players getting selected.
The NBA All-Star voting is set to end on January 20th at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. With Friday being the second-to-last day, the league is making sure fans get their money's worth. January 19th will be the final day where one vote counts for three.
In recent years, the NBA has had to tweak the rules when it comes to fan voting. Years prior, these votes played a huge role in which players would be named as the ten starters. Now, it only counts for half. The other half will come from current players and certain members of the media.
