Picking the 2025 NBA All-Star Game starters, reserves
The NBA has an All-Star Game problem. Despite Adam Silver’s efforts to inject juice into the February showcase — including a format alteration to the 2025 game that is too confusing to attempt to understand before it’s inevitably changed again — there’s little interest in watching teams eschew defense for a series of layup line highlights. That also means the most entertaining part of the NBA All-Star Game is just like the Pro Bowl — debating over who should get a spot.
With fan voting finished Monday and the starters announced Thursday, The Post gives its picks of the 24 All-Stars below (stats are prior to Tuesday’s games):
Eastern Conference starters
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks
Stats: 35 GP, 31.5 PPG, 12.0 RPG, 6.0 APG, 60.5 FG%.
Still the best player in the East and the only reason to believe the Bucks can make noise in the playoffs. A lock for his ninth All-Star selection.
