Basketball lovers in the States and abroad have voted for Alex Caruso and Tacko Fall to be included in the NBA All-Star 2020 team.

The NBA All-Star Game has been the talk of the town season-after-season. This year, cult heroes are getting the attention they want after the end of the first round of voting. As per the rules, fan votes only account for 50 per cent of the vote that determines who the game’s 10 starters are. Even if guys like Caruso and Fall earn more than a million more fan votes, they won’t get to play in the game. But you never know, anything can happen in the crazy world of NBA.
