Voters can submit a maximum of one player name per request to Alexa. Users can submit votes for 10 unique players per Amazon account each day from Dec. 25-Jan. 15.

Voting for All-Star starters is also available via Facebook and Facebook using the hashtag #NBAVOTE, and on Twitter, fans can vote by retweeting as well.
