NBA All Star Voting has closed as of MLK Day, January 20, 2020. After viewing the latest fan voting results, I have determined which players will be starting and selected as reserves for the All Star Weekend in Chicago on President's Day Weekend.

** This Post Was Created before the starters were announced on 1/23 and the reserves on 1/30

Here were the latest results from online fan voting (per NBA.com):

Some interesting notes:

* Tacko Fall, who has appeared in less than 10 NBA games, has more votes than his starting Celtic teammate Gordon Hayward.

* Alex Caruso, who is a regular on the Lakers' bench has more votes than the starting guards on the LA Lakers, who are not even ranked on the results (Danny Green and Rajon Rondo)

* Stephen Curry has played less than 5 games, but has more vote than Karl-Anthony Towns and Brandon Ingram, who are having career seasons averaging over 25 points per game. D'Angelo Russell, the current Warriors starting Point Guard has less votes as well.

* The leading candidates in each conference will be captains. Last year's captains will look to repeat (assuming there is not a sudden surge of votes since this was taken) in LeBron James of the LA Lakers and Giannis Antetokoumnpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.

* Each conference will get 12 players total to the All Star Game. The 5 starters will be compromised of 2 guards and 3 front court players. 7 reserves will be comprised of 2 guards, 3 front court players, and 2 wild card flex options of any position. If any member is injured, they will be replaced with another player from their same conference who had the most next coach votes. For example, LeBron, who is in the west, cannot be replaced by Giannis, who is in the east.

After considering fan votes, media votes, player votes, coach votes, team winning, individual success, historic trends, and personal opinions, I have made my selections as to who will be announced 2020 NBA All-Stars.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
