Basketball fans are eagerly looking forward to the next all-star game in Indianapolis, which is set to return to its traditional format of the West vs. East clash. The game is expected to showcase some of the top players in the league, and while the starting five players have not been announced yet, the first round of voting has given us an idea of who might make the cut.
