So, the key is the absence of LeBron James, who is used to being a regular in these quintets.

The selection process for starters for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game ran from December 17th to January 14th. The weight of fan voting is 50%On the other hand, the media Players themselves contribute 25% each.

And in this last section, the players section, when the list of players who received at least one vote is published, we will see something like this: Some surprises.

Perhaps the most “media” is bronny james Lakers point guard and son of great LeBron James. got 2 votes Number of NBA players starting in the 2026 All-Star Game.

Bronny, 21, is in his second season in the league and is averaging just 1.5 points and 1.1 assists per game.

But LeBron’s son isn’t the only “remarkable” case. Players who haven’t played a minute this season are getting votes, as are long-term injuries like: Damian Lillard or Kyrie Irving, both 3 votes each; either Jayson Tatum and Scoot Henderson received one vote.

Also interesting is the case of players like Bronny, who have previously played a retained role in the regular season. Isaac Jones A power forward who played for the Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons this season, totaling 5 points (1.3 points, 0.5 rebounds) in 4 games. He received four votes as a possible starter for the All-Star Game.

or one of the following Garrett Templea veteran guard who played in 782 games over 40 years in the NBA, is averaging 0.4 points and 0.4 rebounds for the Toronto Raptors this season. Got 2 votes.

The Antetokounmpo brothers are a different case. And we’re not talking about Giannis. Thanasisplayed for the Milwaukee Bucks and averaged 1.7 points, but that did not prevent him from scoring maximum points. 6 votes! He will accompany Giannis as a starter in the All-Star Game. But if Thanasis’ case is amazing, his brother’s is even more amazing. alex He has played all season for the Bucks’ affiliate Wisconsin Herd in the G League and has yet to play in the NBA this season. despite this, Five votes were cast for him.

It is interesting to note that: The NBA does not disclose or publish each player’s voteSo unless one of them wants to come forward and “justify” their reason for voting, or make it clear that it’s some kind of joke, the mystery may remain.
