Last year, the NBA changed the criteria for selecting the All-Star starters by allowing players and media members to each count for 25 percent while the fans’ vote accounted for 50 percent.
Unfortunately the rule change led to a large number of players leaving LeBron James off of their ballot.
There were 128 players who didn't vote for LeBron James on their All-Star ballot. Also, 154 players left Kevin Durant off their ballot.

LeBron responded to getting snubbed by his peers by referencing the 2016 presidential election.
