I'm sure the Lebron fanboy would be coming up with all sorts of BS excuses right now.

He'd most likely blame JB for all of Lebron's struggles.  Or, plot twist, he's now JB's biggest fan.  One or the other.

I would be surprised if Lebron isnt an allstar. If Celtics and Sixers remain atop the east, I could see both teams getting 2 slots each. Tatum, PG, Maxey and Lebron.

How is his shooting efficiency?

LeBron James is experiencing a notable scoring and shooting efficiency drop during the 2026?27 NBA season with the Philadelphia 76ers.
? Scoring Average: Averaging 15.1 points per game through his first 10 appearances, marking a career low.
? Field Goal Percentage: Shooting 43.2% from the field, down significantly from his historical standards.
? 3-Point Efficiency: Shooting 23.7% from deep (roughly 9-for-38 from three-point range early in the stretch), representing another career low.
? Physical Decline / Lift: Observers note decreased lift around the rim and reduced half-court burst as he plays in his 24th NBA season at age 41.

Unfortunately, He will be an all star.  The popular vote will get him in.

I think PG is playing better across the board save assists.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think to get voted on, he'll need the right combination of fan, press and player votes.. I don't think he'll have support from the press if he holds at current numbers. And I'm not sure what the other players will do.

Yes, I think he will get in, more to being grandfathered, due to past play,  than his play.

The 10 starters (5 per conference) are decided using a weighted formula:
- Fans: Account for 50% of the vote.
- Current NBA Players: Account for 25% of the vote.
- Media Panel: Accounts for 25% of the vote.

Voting Rules:
- Fans can cast votes daily through the Official NBA App or NBA.com.
- You can select up to 5 players per conference (no longer restricted by specific frontcourt/backcourt position requirements).
- Certain designated dates count as "3x vote" days where a single fan vote triples in value.

How Reserves Are Chosen
- Head Coaches: The 7 reserves for each conference are selected by NBA head coaches.
- Restrictions: Coaches vote for players in their respective conference, and they cannot vote for players on their own team.
- Replacements: If a selected player is injured or unable to participate, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver selects the replacement.

The starters are based on the combined vote of fans, players, and media.  Then coaches vote on the reserves.  Silver picks replacements (there always seem to be a lot of replacements).  The All-Star roster tends to include a number of players beyond the best 24 players due to replacements and the life time achievement type voting.

Like I said above, if the voting was based on the season to date, Paul George would deserve to be an All-Star and the coaches would likely select him as a reserve.
