NBA All-Star Voting 2021 presented by AT&T, the official 5G wireless network of the NBA, will tip off Thursday, Jan. 28 at 11:00 a.m. CT and conclude on Tuesday, Feb. 16 at 10:59 p.m. CT, giving fans the opportunity to vote for the NBA All-Star starters. Discussions surrounding a potential NBA All-Star Game are ongoing.

Throughout the voting period, fans may submit one full ballot each day via the NBA App and NBA.com, as well as vote for up to 10 unique players per day on Twitter.  All current NBA players will be available for selection.  Five “2-for-1 Days” will allow fans to have their votes count twice on Jan. 30, Feb. 2, Feb. 4, Feb. 13 and Feb. 16 through Twitter, NBA.com and the NBA App voting platforms. All “2-for-1 Days” will be designated from 11:00 p.m. CT – 10:59 p.m. CT.

NBA players and media will join fans in selecting the NBA All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25 percent each. Players and media will be able to complete one ballot, featuring three frontcourt players and two guards from both the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference.

After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked in each conference by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media votes.  Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging his weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes.  The two guards and three frontcourt players with the best score in each conference will be named NBA All-Star starters. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.

Fan voting updates will be shared on Thursday, Feb. 4 and Thursday, Feb. 11.  TNT will reveal this season’s NBA All-Star starters the evening of Thursday, Feb. 18 during TNT NBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax.  TNT will also announce the NBA All-Star reserves, as selected by NBA head coaches, the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 23.

Two weeks after the initial All-Star voting returns were announced by the NBA on Christmas morning, the second set of results were announced Thursday. New Orleans power forward Anthony Davis remains in sixth place among Western Conference frontcourt players, the same standing he had on Dec. 25. The two-time All-Star has garnered a total of 261,491 votes, putting him behind Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Kawhi Leonard and Blake Griffin.

Keep in mind, the three players who receive the most votes among frontcourt candidates will earn an automatic trip to the Feb. 14 All-Star Game in Toronto and starting spot for the West. Through the most recent returns, Davis trails third-place Green by roughly 70,000 votes, not an insurmountable differential. Bryant appears to be a lock to be named a starter at 1.2 million votes, while Durant (616,096) has a significant lead on Green.

There are nine different ways for fans to vote daily online, through social media or via apps. You may vote up to 10 times per day. All details on how to vote are available here: https://www.nba.com/pelicans/allstar16

Anthony Davis remains sixth in West frontcourt All-Star vote

New Orleans power forward Anthony Davis led all Western Conference frontcourt players in 2015 with 1.3 million votes, but some new competition may guarantee that Davis won’t claim the top spot this time. With Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant now listed as a frontcourt player (after receiving a total of 1.1 million votes as a backcourt player last season), the soon-to-retire wing and therefore sentimental pick had a commanding lead when initial results were announced by the NBA on Christmas morning.

Bryant has earned 719,235 votes so far, while Davis is currently sixth among “bigs” with 156,161 votes. In between Bryant and Davis are frontcourt players Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Kawhi Leonard and Draymond Green. The 2016 NBA All-Star Game will be played in February in Toronto.

NBA All-Star Voting 2016 presented by Verizon is an all-digital program that gives fans everywhere the opportunity to vote for their favorite players as starters for the All-Star Game. New to the voting program this year, fans can cast their daily votes directly through Google Search on their desktop, tablet and mobile devices. They can also vote on NBA.com, through the NBA App (available on Android and iOS), SMS text and social media networks including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as via Sina Weibo and Tencent Microblogs in China.
