How Are the NBA All Stars Chosen?
For those that follow the NBA but aren’t certain how the All Star Game participants are chosen, here is some quick info. There are two ways that are used to choose these players. First, the fans vote for their favorite player and for each position, the player that gets the most votes will start the game. The reserve players are selected by votes cast by the head coaches for each conference. A coach cannot vote for their own player and if someone is injured, then the commissioner selects a replacement. |
