The NBA has announced the starting lineup for this year's All-Stars, which will be held in San Francisco.
East: Antetokounmpo, Tatum, Towns, Brunson, Mitchell.
West: Curry, Alexander, Durant, James, Jokic.
Curry, as the host, was selected as an All-Star starter for the 11th time in his career, averaging 22.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game so far this season, and averaging 4.3 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of 40.7%.
According to the rules, All-Star starters are produced and voted for by fans (50%), players (25%) and media (25%); Fan voting is divided into three phases, with the top two backcourt players and the top three frontcourt players being voted for as All-Star starters, and the All-Star bench players being selected by each team's head coach.
Therefore, the all-star starter mainly depends on popularity, and strength is secondary.
Curry, as a top player for many years, has a high probability of being voted an All-Star starter by fans even if he averages no more than 20 points per game.
James and Durant are the same, one has been selected as an All-Star starter for 21 consecutive years, and the other has been selected as an All-Star starter for the 15th time in his career, and the league is an Ivy tree.

So far this season, Towns has averaged 25.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and Brunson has averaged 26 points, 3 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, and the Knicks are currently in third place in the East with 29 wins and 16 losses, behind the Cavaliers and Celtics.
