vivo Partners with NBA for Exciting NBA All-Star 2025
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Get ready to see your favorite NBA stars shine at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. The league’s annual midseason showcase is just days away, and fans in the Philippines are gearing up to watch their favorite players hit the hardwood.
Returning for the second consecutive year as the Official Presenting Partner of NBA All-Star Voting in the Philippines, vivo joins the NBA in celebrating this highly anticipated weekend, taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area from February 15 to February 17.
A New Twist on the All-Star Game
NBA All-Star Voting presented by vivo allowed fans in the Philippines to vote for their favorite NBA players from each conference as starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, set to be played on February 17 at Chase Center in San Francisco. The voting process involved selections by fans (50% of the vote), current NBA players (25%), and a media panel (25%). This year’s chosen starters include multi-time All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, along with veteran superstars Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James.
But here’s the twist: this year, the NBA All-Star Game introduces a mini-tournament format with four teams and three games. The 24 NBA All-Stars will be divided into three teams, with rosters selected by NBA Legends Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith during the NBA All-Star Draft on February 7, broadcast live on TNT. The fourth team will be composed of the winners from the Castrol Rising Stars championship game, featuring top first- and second-year NBA players and NBA G League standouts, led by WNBA Legend Candace Parker.
