NBA All-Star vote: The players who do far better with fans than peers

The 2024 All-Star Game starters were announced last week, and as per usual, we had some snubs, some broken records, and some weird votes. The difference between fan vote and player vote in the All-Star Game in the last eight years is huge in some …

Here are the players who have consistently been more popular with fans than peers under the current voting system. (We’re only listing players with at least three seasons getting votes under that system).

NBA All-Star: The best players who got zero votes from their peers

The players who got zero votes from their peers for the 2024 All-Star Game.

The All-Star starters for the 2024 All-Star Game in Indianapolis were announced last night.

LeBron James became the first player in league history with 20 appearances in the All-Star Game. (He was already the player with the most fan votes ever).

Since all results were published, including fan, media, and player vote, we decided to make a list with the best players (per HoopsHype’s Global Rating) who got zero votes from their peers for the upcoming All-Star Game. There are some eye-opening names.

Team LeBron defeats Team Durant 163-160

His team needed one basket to win, and James spun back and shot a high-arcing fadeaway over a double team that arrived just a second late. The ball went through the basket, the crowd, including his closest friends, washed totally over in another signature sequence. Team LeBron defeated Team Durant 163-160 Sunday in Cleveland, James authoring the flawless final sentences of an All-Star weekend that he unsurprisingly dominated.

The Kobe Bryant Trophy, presented to the game’s most valuable player, left with Stephen Curry. He made a record 16 threes, obliterating Paul George’s previous record of nine. And his 50 points were two shy of Anthony Davis’ All-Star record. But the final moment, the ball in James’ hand, was too perfect — the most important people in his life, from his family to his closest friends in the building. “I could not have dreamed of that moment any better,” James said.

He stared at the banner he won with the Cavaliers that hangs in their building’s rafters while he was introduced as an All-Star for the 18th time. And as the crowd’s roars only grew stronger, James looked to the sky and howled. With a massive smile, he said, “Let’s go.” It was as happy as he’s looked all year. “How much more can a man ask for really when you have an opportunity to live this moment with everybody that has seen you come up?” James said with a relaxed smile.

Stephen Curry wins All-Star Game MVP

Stephen Curry put on a shooting clinic all evening, hitting 16 3-pointers and scoring 50 points, while LeBron James hit an absurd, one-legged turnaround jumper to clinch the victory for Team LeBron over Team Durant 163-160. On a night when the NBA honored its 75 greatest players, two of them — Curry and James — put on displays worthy of the occasion. “Yeah, I told him on the court after the game it was kind of a perfect ending,” said Curry, who was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. “I was chasing that extra two or three points. I think DeMar [DeRozan] hit a big shot, and then [James] came out and hit the game winner. “It was kind of a perfect ending. Obviously, I got the MVP; I played well the whole night. He hit the game winner. All the history of our series and the Akron ties, and all that kind of going into how the night went, so it was pretty — can’t really draw it up any other way. “It’s right on the nose of how it should go.”
