When the first round of fan votes for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game came back on December 29, it was great to see a diverse mix of talents across the league, each with their own set of tallies. There was a good mix of established stars and some underrated names that most wouldn’t necessarily consider NBA ‘superstars’ per se.
Out East, you had guys like Michael Porter Jr., Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby, while out West, it was reigning Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle. All very talented guys in their own right — in fact, I’m a huge fan of that Knicks trio right there.
