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 cases.
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).
