Here is how fans, media, and players voted for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game

We have officially learned who will appear in the starting lineup of the 2025 NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco.

The ten starters were decided based on a blend of ballots from fans, selected media members, and other NBA players. This allows an opportunity for the players to earn an All-Star appearance based on a diverse panel of opinions from peers and experts alike.

Here is how the system currently works:

  • Fan voting rank: 50 percent
  • Media voting rank: 25 percent
  • Player voting rank: 25 percent

Those who did not get the nod in the starting lineup will still have a chance to earn an appearance based on voting from coaches.

But this is how the voting was decided among the three groups. Bold denotes an appearance in the starting lineup:
