Here Are Your NBA All-Star Game Starters

For the first time, voting on the starters for the NBA All-Star game was not exclusively left up to fans. While votes from fans still hold the most weight (50 percent), they were on equal footing with the combined votes of the media and the players (25 percent each).

All in all, these seem mostly fair, although I’d have Kyle Lowry in there. Russell Westbrook is the most obvious snub, and I wish he had found out before last night’s game because he would have gone completely off on the Warriors. At least Giannis made it!
