It's nice to have friends in high places. Especially, when you need votes to start an All-Star Game.

On Thursday, the second round of NBA All-Star voting totals were released with Clippers guard Chris Paul in third, leaving him in jeopardy of missing out on a start in the All-Star Game.

Enter singer Justin Bieber.

Everyone RT this to get my man Chris Paul @cp3 into the All-Star game. #NBAVote @CP3

Bieber's call to action went out to his 73 million Twitter followers. With Paul some 200,000 shy of second place Russell Westbrook, it'll be interesting to see if the "Beliebers" can get Paul over the hump.

Fans can vote for their favorite player by typing their name and hashtag #NBAVote.

Voting for the 2016 All-Star game ends Jan. 18.
