On January 10th, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of fan voting for the 2025 All-Star Game, which has sparked widespread attention and discussion among fans.
In the Western Conference frontcourt, Jokic continues to lead with 2,277,723 votes. Durant and James follow closely behind, with the gap between their votes narrowed to 2,151. James is showing signs of overtaking Durant. Wenyamadu performed outstandingly, surpassing Anthony Davis in votes to rise to fourth place, demonstrating extremely high popularity. In the Western Conference backcourt, Alexander remains firmly in first place. Curry, with his excellent performance and the advantage of playing at home for the Warriors, successfully overtook Doncic to rise to second place, and currently has 25,160 more votes than Doncic. If Curry can continue to deliver highlight moments, there is a great possibility that he will return to the All-Star starting lineup.
In the Eastern Conference, Antetokounmpo continues to sit firmly in the top spot with 2,721,339 votes without any suspense, and his lead has further expanded, with nearly 500,000 more votes than Tatum, who is second in the East, making it seem almost certain that he will retain his title as the top vote-getter. Tatum, Towns, Ball, and Mitchell are temporarily ranked at the forefront of the Eastern Conference frontcourt and backcourt, forming the current starting lineup selected by fan votes for the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
Overall, Antetokounmpo and Jokic have relatively stable leading positions in their respective divisions. However, James' strong pursuit and Curry's surpassing have made the competition in the West full of variables. Although Wenyamadu surpassed Anthony Davis in votes, there is still a gap with James, and whether he can enter the starting lineup will depend on the situation of player and media voting.
It is worth noting that the 2025 NBA All-Star Game has ushered in significant reforms and will adopt a small tournament format featuring four teams for the first time, which undoubtedly adds new highlights and suspense to the All-Star Game. The starting All-Star players are determined jointly by fan, player, and media votes, accounting for 50%, 25%, and 25% respectively. There are three stages of fan voting, with the top two backcourt players and top three frontcourt players in the final vote selection becoming the All-Star starting players, while substitute players are selected by the head coaches of each team.
The NBA has revealed that the results of the next stage of fan voting will be announced on January 17th, Beijing time, and tomorrow will be a triple-count day, which is crucial for the candidate players and may cause significant changes in the ranking of votes. The starting lineup for the All-Star Game will be announced on TNT on January 24th, and the main event of the All-Star Game is scheduled for February 17th, when fans will have the opportunity to witness this basketball feast.
As the voting continues, the competition among the players has also entered a white-hot stage. Who will ultimately be selected for the All-Star starting lineup, and who will shine on the All-Star court, let us wait and see. Fans can also actively participate in the upcoming voting, casting their precious votes for their favorite players to help decide the starting lineup for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. With the support of the new format, this year's All-Star Game is expected to be even more spectacular, bringing a basketball carnival feast to fans around the world.
