How to vote for the NBA 2K League All-Star Game
5v5 players will be broken into two teams of five - two backcourt players and three frontcourt players - representing the Eastern and Western conferences.
From Monday, July 24-August 5, fans may submit one full ballot daily. All current NBA 2K League players will be available for selection. July 28, and August 4, will both be a “3-for-1 Day”, allowing fans to have their votes counted three times.
For 3v3, the four players that receive the most votes will each captain a team. Both captains can select any two of their conference’s 5v5 All-Stars to be included in their lineup.
