Jayson Tatum is playing elite basketball this season. NBA All-Star voters — fans, players, and media alike — recognize it.
The 25-year-old Celtics star was named a 2024 NBA All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference team Thursday. Fifty percent of voters who decide the All-Star starters are fans, while media (25 percent) and fellow players (25 percent) comprise the rest.
Tatum received 4,802,187 fan votes, 100 media votes, and 196 player votes. Those numbers earned him a spot in the All-Star starting lineup alongside the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, the 76ers’ Joel Embiid, and the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton.
