Voting for the NBA All-Star Game just got a lot more technical this year. Gone are the days of the paper ballot and tiny pencil, replaced by the wonderful world of the internet.
Sure, you can always just vote for LeBron James and Stephen Curry on NBA.com, but why not let the Internet of Things help cast your vote with the help of Amazon’s Alexa or by spamming your Twitter followers with votes for Joel Embiid?
The NBA announced all the ways you can vote in your favorite All-Stars this year, and there truly are a wide variety of ways to get your voice heard, sometimes multiple times at once.
You can ask your Alexa to cast a vote for you up to 10 times a day, post Twitter and Facebook updates with #NBAVOTE to have your voice heard, and also use the NBA app on your phone to make your All-Star dreams come true. You can even Google how to vote for someone and the magic of the internet will help show you the way.
Here are all the special ways you can vote for NBA All-Stars this year.
– NBA.com and NBA App: Cast one ballot per 24 hours. Select up to two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference. During 2-for-1 days, these votes will be counted twice.
– Facebook: Post a player’s first and last name and the hashtag #NBAVOTE. Up to 10 unique player votes per day.
– Twitter: Tweet, retweet or reply with a player’s first and last name or Twitter handle, along with #NBAVOTE. Up to 10 unique player votes per day.
– Google: Search “NBA Vote All-Star” or “NBA Vote (Team Name)” and fill out the voting cards. Up to 10 unique player votes per day.
– Amazon Alexa: With the NBA All-Star skill enabled, say “Alexa, open NBA All-Star,” and then request to vote. Only 10 unique player votes per day.
All combined, you can definitely swing the voting if you quit your job and decide to vote for a certain player full-time. It will take a few hours of your day up, at least.
