vivo joins NBA in welcoming NBA All-Star 2025


MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Excited to see your favorite NBA stars gather at the 2025 NBA All-Star? The league’s annual midseason showcase is a few days away for fans in the Philippines to catch their favorite stars take on 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 the highly anticipated NBA All-Star weekend taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area from Saturday, Feb. 15 through Monday, Feb. 17. 


 

New All-Star Game Format

NBA All-Star Voting presented by vivo provided fans in the Philippines with the opportunity to vote for their favorite NBA Players from each conference as starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, which will be played on Monday, Feb. 17 at Chase Center in San Francisco. The voting process consisted of selections by fans (50% of the vote), current NBA players (25%) and a media panel (25%), which resulted in multi-time All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and veteran superstars Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James being named among the 10 starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. 

Here's the twist – this year, it's a whole new ball game. For the first time, the NBA All-Star Game will feature a mini-tournament with four teams and three games. The 24 NBA All-Star selections will be divided evenly into three teams, with the rosters selected by NBA Legends Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith live on TNT in the NBA All-Star Draft on Friday, Feb. 7. The fourth team will be the winning team from the championship game of the Castrol Rising Stars, the annual showcase of top first- and second-year NBA players and NBA G League standouts, which will be led by WNBA Legend Candace Parker.

Witness a partnership that continues to evolve

vivo and NBA are committed to delivering Filipino basketball fans with curated experiences and content that bring them closer to their favorite teams and players.

Last year, as the Official Smartphone of the NBA in the Philippines, vivo offered local fans with opportunities to interact with NBA legends such as Derek Fisher and Richard Hamilton as well as connect over their shared love for the game. 

As part of ongoing efforts to promote the sport, vivo hosted the Second Year of the vivo 3x3 Basketball Challenge from July to August last 2024. The 5-day tournament provided a platform for talented young athletes across Manila to represent their universities and showcase their skills on the court, which was livestreamed using vivo’s flagship smartphone, the vivo V30 Pro, on its official Facebook page in high-definition quality.

Through their collaboration, vivo and NBA will continue to explore new ways for fans of both brands to experience the excitement of the NBA throughout the year.
