Nikola Jokic is the best player in the world. And he’s having the best season of anyone in the NBA. None of this is debatable. Yet, the first round of All-Star voting was announced on Monday, and Jokic sits in third place overall, behind Luka Doncic of the Lakers and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks.
Luka Donu010diu0107 and Giannis Antetokounmpo lead their conferences in the first fan returns in NBA All-Star Voting 2026.
Fans (50% of the vote) join NBA players (25%) and a media panel (25%) in selecting five players in each conference honored as starters.
