The NBA released the second returns for All-Star voting on Thursday, which revealed that no one has overtaken the Indiana Pacers' Paul George for a starting frontcourt spot in the Eastern Conference. George (457,544), a two-time All-Star, continues to trail LeBron James (636,388) in the balloting, but leads current third-place holder Andre Drummond (261,158) by nearly 200,000 votes.
November's Player of the Month gained nearly 175,000 votes since the first returns were released on Christmas Day, signaling that voters were not dissuaded by his late-December shooting woes as much as they were encouraged by his overall comeback.
