How does the NBA All-Star Voting Work?
The NBA fan vote accounts to fifty percent of the total vote to identify or determine the starters for the NBA All-Star game, while all current players and media panel will account to 25 percent each. THE NBA ballot consists of two guards and three frontcourts for each conference. On the other hand, NBA Head coaches have the privilege to select reserves while Commissioner Adam Silver has the right to choose injury replacements if necessary.
Once the 24 NBA All-Star players are completed, the two top players in the voting result will be the captains and they have the privilege to draft their players for their teams. They are not restricted to select players within their conference, they have the freedom to select from the 24 players.
