Players, Media Will Now Be Included In NBA All-Star Voting Along With Fans

For a while now the NBA All-Star game starters have been solely decided by fan voting, which has its pros and cons.

It was a pro because the fans are the ones watching the game, so they should be able to watch who they want to see play. But a major flaw is that fans often just vote for their favorite players, so sometimes there have been guys starting in the All-Star game when they are having a season that is not worthy of being an All-Star.

Well, that is going to change moving forward, as now the fans will not be the sole selectors of the All-Star starters.
