The All-Star voting by NBA players is a hilarious mess

The NBA announced 10 “starters” for its 2018 All-Star Game on Thursday, players who earned the nod through a combination of fan, player and media voting.

None of the 10 choices were particularly controversial, and all 10 would certainly be named as reserves for the game had they not been deemed starters. The NBA revealed the vote totals from all three factions, and it’s pretty clear that a lot of NBA players did not take the responsibility seriously.

A panel of media members cast at least one vote for seven frontcourt and five backcourt players in the Eastern Conference.
