NBA All-Star fan vote: The most popular players ever

Coley Cleary - USA TODAY Sports
Coley Cleary - USA TODAY Sports

If the All-Star vote were a popularity contest, LeBron James would have won by a landslide, as he is the player with the most No. 1 (10) and also No. 2 (5) finishes ever. While not at that level, other players have been incredibly popular as well in All-Star fan voting.

In this exercise, we got the fan vote results, awarded each player points based on where they ranked in the Top 10, with 10 points for No. 1, nine points for No. 2, all the way down to one point for No. 10, and ranked the most popular players in NBA All-Star voting that way.

Three of the players who have driven the most fans into basketball are up there in this ranking, i.e. The King, Air Jordan and The Black Mamba: James, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Check out the full list below.

(Note: This is based on known votes. The NBA didn't disclose the entire full vote until 2016-17.)
