BBL & WBBL All-Star game voting opens

The British Basketball League has launched their All-Star voting platform, giving fans their chance to shape the Men’s and Women’s lineups for the star-studded event taking place at the Copper Box Arena in London on March 17, 2024.

The All-Star Games will see the best of the best from the British Basketball League come together for one day only in a North v South showdown, in a return of the game for the first time in over two decades.

From today, fans can visit the All-Star voting webpage and pick their favourites for the North v South teams starting fives.

They can select one centre, two forwards and two guards per team, and there is no limit on how many players from one club can be picked in the starting five.

Voting closes on February 15 at 7:00pm (GMT), and the players with the most votes will be selected to start in their respective teams.

The split of teams is as follows:

Men
North: Caledonia Gladiators, Cheshire Phoenix, Manchester Giants, Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles, B. Braun Sheffield Sharks.
South: Bristol Flyers, Leicester Riders, London Lions, Plymouth City Patriots, Surrey Scorchers.

Women
North: Caledonia Gladiators, Durham Palatinates, Manchester Giants, Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles, B. Braun Sheffield Hatters.
South: Cardiff Met Archers, Essex Rebels, Leicester Riders, London Lions, Nottingham Wildcats, Oaklands Wolves.

How to vote

Visit britishbasketballleague.com/all-star-vote-2024 to vote for your Men’s starting fives, and visit wbbl.org.uk/all-star-vote-2024 to vote for your Women’s starting fives.

Choose your favourite players for both North and South teams using the interactive court and then download your selected teams and share on social media to rally support.

The two top-performing North and South coaches in the League will be chosen as the head coaches for each team. These coaches will have the responsibility of selecting the reserves next month, with one selected from every team.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
